Design rationale

UHMWPE material

The component is polyethylene, the same material family as the GORDION tibial inserts. The femoral side stays CoCr, so the femoral component articulates with polyethylene at both the tibial and the patellar surface.

Optional resurfacing

Patellar resurfacing is the surgeon's choice: GORDION can be used with or without it. With a resurfaced patella the component is cemented with the patellar clamp.

Indications

Painful and restrictive knee joint disease caused by non-inflammatory degenerative disorders (osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis or avascular necrosis), rheumatoid arthritis or post-traumatic arthritis
Advanced arthrosis that has not responded to conservative or arthroscopic measures
Pain with excessive loading or at rest
Increasing limitation of movement
Mild varus, valgus or flexion deformity in which the ligamentous structures can be restored to adequate function and balance
