DJO Global launches new total knee replacement

Vista, CA's DJO Global launched the Empowr 3D Knee at the annual meeting of the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons in Dallas, TX. "The Empowr 3D Knee retains the proven articular surface design of the 3DKnee, which has been shown in over ten years of clinical and laboratory studies to provide patients with stability, durability, strength and range of motion. Randomized trials show this robust design provides the same clinical results whether or not the posterior cruciate ligament is retained. The new Empowr 3D Knee design retains all these functional benefits in a system that is designed to optimally fit patients' anatomy while giving surgeons more intraoperative flexibility and efficiency," said Dr. Scott Banks, co-designer of the 3D Knee and professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at the University of Florida, in a statement.
