Zimmer® NexGen® Precoat Pegged Tibial Plate

The NexGen Precoat Pegged Tibial Plate supports Zimmer’s vision in MIS™ products and surgical techniques.  With its proven clinical history in the Zimmer M/G® and MG II® Total Knee Systems, the NexGen Precoat Pegged Tibial Plate is MIS Procedure friendly and addresses many issues relating to surgical procedure, implantation, and future revision TKA.

  • Low-profile design simplifies insertion into the small incision/ opening required for the MIS Quad-Sparing™ procedure.
  • Superior stability with minimal bone removal.1,2
  • 20 years of excellent clinical results.3

 

No Invasion of Tibial IM Canal

The NexGen Precoat Pegged Tibial Plate does not invade/pressurize the tibial IM canal, minimizing the potential for fat emboli.  Its tibial preparation approach conserves more bone versus traditional stemmed tibial plates, preserving bone stock if/when revision TKA is needed.

Minimizing Cortical Impingement in Tibial IM Canal

The low profile design of the NexGen Precoat Pegged Tibial Plate helps minimize the potential for A/P cortical impingement inside the tibial IM canal and allows the surgeon to cut the proximal tibia at the angle of their choice. Keeled plates offer less flexibility on posterior slope cut angles because the keel can more easily impinge/perforate the tibial cortex in the IM canal.
