JOURNEY II XR Hero 1.png

Learning from the past to innovate for the future

Bi-cruciate retaining (BCR) knees have been designed since the very early days of orthopaedics. Even in those early days, surgeons and manufacturers recognised the importance of ACL function to kinematics, proprioception and stability.

JOURNEY II XR is designed with the knowledge and learnings of past BCR knee designs, while improving upon early concepts through the principles of anatomic knee design,1-5 improved instrumentation and technique, and advanced bearing materials.
