Accession #: 2010032

Description: Knee prosthesis, removed after implantation, showing wear/damage to the tibial component. It is described as a stabilised gliding knee prosthesis. A central pin mechanism which replaces the stabilising influence of the cruciate ligament, is missing from the specimen. The device was introduced circa 1973.

This example was used circa 1977.

Figure DSC01375.jpg reveals that this is a removed, failed example.
