• 

  Fig. 1 Cross-section schematic diagram showing the difference between the Scorpio and Superflex tibial inserts. The major difference is the larger posterior radius for the Scorpio™ insert. Note that the Superflex™ has a lower posterior lip.

• 

  Fig. 2 (A) Patellar tilt and (B) patella shift were measured from the 45° Merchant view.

• 

  Fig. 3 A 67-year old female could flex 145° at the operated left knee (A) and anteroposterior and full flexion lateral X-ray (B).

• 

  Fig. 4 The images show that the patient could kneel down comfortably (A) and sit cross-legged (B).
