[QUOTE="marioq, post: 1003848, member: 40669"] Well, this knee has been tried before by Wright Medical and they had their problems. Maybe Biomet got it right this time. I think it is technically a challenging surgery to do but the thought process behind it is sound. The knee is a 4 ligament chain and it will function better if all 4 ligaments are left in place. It will be interesting to get the knee society scores and compare them to others to see if this knee really is better. Worth a look and I think it will spark some interest. Only problem is the small bridge of bone in between the medial and lateral tibial component. It may compromise the ACL insertion. Anyway, time will tell and I am happy that there are guys looking into this knee. Its how we make advancements. [/QUOTE]
