The Zimmer Natural-Knee had been available for 25 years until its redesign. It includes a porous material that attaches to the bone without having to cut any of it away.

 

The Natural-Knee II cruciate retaining system mirrors the knee’s anatomic form to improve function. Its femoral components offer a deepened patella groove to maximize range of motion and minimize patellar complications.
