The Vanguard posterior stabilised plus UHMWPE tibial bearing is designed for use in treatment of low demand, less active or sedentary patients requiring posterior cruciate substitution. The PS plus bearing is indicated for use in a primary situation when more stability and initial constraint is desired to resist rotation and varus/valgus lift-off, as one component of the Vanguard total knee system. The indications for use: 1. Painful and disabled knee joint resulting from osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, traumatic arthritis where one or more compartments are involved. 2. Correction of varus, valgus or posttraumatic deformity. 3. Correction or revision of unsuccessful osteotomy, arthrodesis, or failure of previous joint replacement procedure.
