Physica ZUK
Best performing UKA at 5, 10 & 15yrs (1)
Physica ZUK offers an unchanged design for more than 15 years.
Benefits
Proven Clinical Heritage
Best performing UKA at 5, 10 & 15yrs (1) with its unchanged design for more than 15 years is supporting repeatable and reproducible results (2, 3, 4, 5, 6).
Optimizing Function
The fixed bearing design is reducing post-operative complications of bearing dislocation (7), improving functional outcomes and FJS (8).
Precision Execution
Simple and easy-to-use instrument set for fine-tuning preparation and repeatable and reproducible surgical technique. Same implant for Medial and Lateral UKA.
About
Fixed bearing design with metal tibial baseplate + liner & all-poly tibia options, universal tibial and femoral components for lateral and medial UKA and universal tibial/femoral compatibility.
Physica ZUK has a PMMA coating on femoral and metal tibial components for advanced cement adhesion.
