Summary

EMPOWR 3D Knee: The Only Dual-Pivot Knee that Replicates Native Knee Kinematics

In a recent episode, Dr. Meneghini discusses the EMPOWR 3D Knee, the only knee replacement that replicates native knee kinematics through its dual-pivot design. This revolutionary knee replacement has been the talk of the town since it was introduced, and for good reason.

The Benefits of EMPOWR 3D Knee

The EMPOWR 3D Knee offers a unique combination of features that make it stand out from other knee replacements. Dr. Meneghini explains that the dual pivot and conforming polyethylene help with stability and allow patients to do more activities without worry. This has resulted in better outcomes with less worry about patient recovery due to the knee replacement design, which helps replicate the feeling of a normal knee.

Dual Pivot vs. Medial Pivot

Dual pivot is a term used to describe the twisting pattern in the knee joint, whereas medial pivot is a term used by some implant companies to describe a pattern of knee movement. Emerging research has shown that the knee only behaves in a medial pivot pattern when it is in greater degrees of flexion. Dual pivot has both lateral and medial pivoting, just like the normal knee does.

How EMPOWR 3D Knee is Changing the Game

As Dr. Meneghini explains, some surgeons may be hesitant to use EMPOWR 3D because they are not familiar with the nuances of how to properly insert the implant. However, there are many surgeons who are willing to help other surgeons learn about this revolutionary knee replacement design. Patients who have received the EMPOWR 3D Knee have seen amazing results that are changing the game in knee replacements.
