Procedure Description
The ANTHEM Total Knee System was designed to provide an advanced and globally relevant Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) prosthesis and instrumentation system while being accessible to all orthopedic surgeons and patients.
The virtual procedure that you are about to undertake is specific to Smith & Nephew’s ANTHEM Posterior Stabilized Primary Knee utilizing the ORTHOMATCH Universal Instrumentation.
