Scorpio NRG

Bone Conservation

The Scorpio NRG Knee System conserves bone in three areas:

  • Resection level – NRG’s distal and posterior resection is maintained at a low 8mm of bone.1,2
  • No additional posterior cut – Unlike some competitive knee prostheses, NRG does not require additional bone resection on the posterior condyles. Even without the additional bone resection, NRG is able to maintain sufficient contact in deep flexion.1,2
  • No patellar groove resection – In contrast to the traditional Scorpio component, NRG does not require additional patellar groove resection.
