J A N U A R Y 2 0 1 7 • O U T PA T I E N TS U R G E R Y. N E T • 1 5 9 Personalized Knee Replacement Your surgeons can perform custom knee replacements when they implant the Vanguard Individual Design (ID), the first implant with dual bearings. Traditional total knee implants feature a one-piece bearing constructed of polyethylene placed between the metal por- tions of the implant. The Vanguard ID is the only total knee arthro- plasty device to incorporate 2 individual polyethylene bearings with different articulations on the medial and lateral sides. The dual bear- ings allow for unprecedented articulation in the replacement knee. Surgeons can mix and match bearings of differing thickness and geometry so they can maintain natural ligament tension and pre- serve healthy soft tissue, says Zimmer Biomet. zimmerbiomet.com
