Medial pivot knee
A medial pivot knee is a type of artificial knee designed to mimic the natural movement of a real knee joint. It features a stable, ball-shaped inner side (medial side) that allows the thigh bone (femur) to smoothly slide and rotate over the shin bone (tibia). This design helps replicate natural knee motion, providing better stability and more natural walking, especially during turning or bending. It aims to improve comfort and function for the patient, making daily activities feel more normal compared to traditional knee replacements.
