Don't let knee pain cramp your style

Is your knee pain making even the simplest tasks feel like a mammoth effort?

Are you living with pain that brings swelling, and a whole lot of frustration?

If you’ve already played the game of popping pills, enduring endless therapies, and even braving needles with no relief, it’s time to consider the big guns – a total knee replacement.
And if you’re going to do it, you want the best and fastest recovery, and a knee that works right for you.

It’s time to trade in that creaky hinge for something with a lot more swagger.

Surgeons love the Evolution®
Medial-Pivot Knee:

Stability & motion

The difference is in the design, which allows the knee to move normally in a predictable manner.
“I should say the thing is that we know now that we’ve seen that the Medial-Pivot is the design, the prosthesis which almost really replicates the normal knee from all the designs on the market,
and this gives us really that greater stability.”

Dr Patel Singh

Patient preferred[1]

“The return of range of motion is much faster, they get much better motion, they get it quicker.
They’re out of the hospital sooner, their pain is better. And they seem to get back to the activities that they want to do at a much quicker rate.”

Dr. Joseph Assini

Availability & sizing

With our personal surgeon relationships, we’ll never compromise on offering you the best service.

The original medial pivot knee

The MicroPort Orthopedics Medial-Pivot Knee was launched in 1998, making it the first Medial-Pivot Knee  available on the market.

A culmination of years of research and design by Wright Medical and Dr. J. David Blaha resulted in a truly unique knee replacement design.
