Description

From Which Medical Device

The Journey Patello-Femoral replacement is part of the Smith and Nephew system for selective replacement of all or part of the knee. The implant is manufactured from Oxinium (oxidised zirconium) and is said to have an anatomic design, with a deepened and lateralised trochlear groove, optimised for patellar tracking. Patellar resurfacing is optional.

In the 2010 National Joint Registry Report for England and Wales, the Journey was the third most popular patellofemoral implant with 19% of the market, after the Avon from Stryker, and the FPV from Wright Medical. We are not aware of published results.
