JOURNEY DEUCE Bi-Compartmental Knee System
The innovative JOURNEY◊ DEUCE◊ Bi-Compartmental Knee System is a revolutionary concept where the medial tibiofemoral compartment and patellofemoral compartment are replaced with a single femoral component. The JOURNEY◊ DEUCE◊ System is the first and only knee system to successfully retain ACL and PCL function, allowing more normal kinematics and proprioception throughout the range of motion.
The JOURNEY◊ DEUCE◊ Bi-Compartmental Knee System accommodates deep flexion, enables normal tibiofemoral axial rotation and provides patellar tracking throughout the entire range of flexion while retaining the healthy lateral tibiofemoral compartment.
The JOURNEY◊ DEUCE◊ instruments were designed to work well using an MIS approach. The instruments were based on proven concepts while maximizing stability and accuracy. The instruments are similar to traditional MIS TKA instruments so that surgeons would feel comfortable using them for the first time. Utilizing the latest in wear reducing material technology, OXINIUM◊ Oxidized Zirconium, the JOURNEY◊ DEUCE◊ knee system also addresses the issue of implant longevity. By designing a knee system that retains normal knee function and overcomes limitations of conventional systems while maintaining excellent durability and robustness, Smith & Nephew has created a true active knee system that redefines success in conventional knee arthroplasty.
