Product Overview
-To provide the surgeon with a more accurate
simulation of optimum final implant placement and
correction of joint imbalance before any femoral
resections are performed, the Prophecy® Gap
Balancing System offers balancing-oriented devices
and tensioners that overcome potential limitations of
standard instrumentation. The value of this superior
gap balancing is illustrated by literature that shows
nearly half of all knee revisions can be attributed to a
cause that can be prevented with correct gap
balancing.1-3
One-cut simulation
-With only a tibial resection, the Prophecy® Gap
Balancing System is able to simulate the final
prosthesis position and alignment, with ligament
correction, prior to any femoral resections being
performed.
Flexion and extension gap balancing
-With the patella reduced for anatomic tibiofemoral
gap assessments, Prophecy® guides and
instrumentation allow for full extension and 90
degrees of flexion balancing.
Axial and rotational adjustments
-The femoral Prophecy® guide allows for the use of
anterior and distal pin guides to account for joint gap
corrections that may necessitate axial and rotational
adjustments.
