The Tibial Metal Block [Cemented TIT Alloy] is one of the metallic components on the Tibial Side of Total Knee Replacement / Total Knee Arthroplasty – TKA systems. It is designed to function as part of the Tibial Construct following preparation of the Proximal Tibia according to the approved surgical technique.
According to the product designation, the Tibial Metal Block utilizes Cemented Fixation and is manufactured from TIT Alloy – Titanium Alloy. It is used within the compatible system to provide a metallic base supporting the associated Tibial Bearing / Insert components.
The range is available in separate Left and Right designs, with five sizes for each side: Extra Small, Small, Medium, Large, and Extra Large, providing a total of 10 Implant Configurations according to the supplied table.
This variety supports Preoperative Templating, Tibial Component Sizing, and Intraoperative Trialing, allowing selection of the appropriate size and laterality according to the dimensions of the Proximal Tibia, Bone Resection, Component Coverage, and the overall knee reconstruction plan.
The Tibial Metal Component functions in combination with other compatible components of the Total Knee Prosthesis, including the Femoral Component and Tibial Bearing / Insert, to form the Femoro-Tibial Articulation according to the system design.
What Is a Tibial Metal Block?
The Tibial Metal Block is a Metallic Orthopedic Implant Component forming part of the tibial side of a Total Knee Prosthesis System.
Following Tibial Bone Resection and preparation of the Proximal Tibia, the appropriate tibial component is selected according to size and anatomical side and is then implanted using the Cemented Fixation Technique specified for the system.
The component forms a fundamental part of the Tibial Construct, supporting the compatible Bearing Component that articulates with the Femoral Component during knee movement.
