Knee Injuries
Injuries to the knee or the knee joint.
Knee Prosthesis
Replacement for a knee joint.
Arthroplasty, Replacement, Knee
Replacement of the knee joint.
Popliteal Cyst
A SYNOVIAL CYST located in the back of the knee, in the popliteal space arising from the semimembranous bursa or the knee joint.
Osteoarthritis, Knee
Noninflammatory degenerative disease of the knee joint consisting of three large categories: conditions that block normal synchronous movement, conditions that produce abnormal pathways of motion, and conditions that cause stress concentration resulting in changes to articular cartilage.

Clinical Trials
Main Objectives are: Test Difference in terms of early ROM between Vanguard FB CR and Vanguard FB PS. Knees; Demonstrate the comparable ROM of high flex PS to CR.
This evaluation is being conducted on the relative new knee system, the Vanguard Cruciate Retaining (CR)to evaluate clinical efficacy of the Vanguard CR components.
