Scorpio® Knee Replacement System
Are You Considering Knee Replacement Surgery?
Each patient is unique, but generally, candidates for knee replacement surgery have:
.
- Pain severe enough to restrict not only work and recreation but also the routine activities of daily living
- Pain that is not relieved by more conservative methods of treatment, such as reduced activity, medication or physical therapy
- Significant joint stiffness and loss of mobility
- X-rays that show advanced arthritis or other degenerative problems
.
The National Institutes of Health recently concluded that knee replacement surgery is “a safe and cost-effective treatment for alleviating pain and restoring function in patients who do not respond to non-surgical therapies.” 1
.
Not all knee replacements are the same
Your doctor has selected Scorpio® because he/she feels it’s a good fit for you and your lifestyle and because your doctor knows that over half a million Scorpio® knees have been used successfully worldwide during the past decade. The Scorpio NRG® Knee System was designed to provide greater stability than other knee replacements available today.
