The ATTUNE® Knee is designed to optimize how your
knee replacement feels and moves. Through several key
patented technologies, the ATTUNE Knee can help you
achieve the best possible range of motion while giving
you the confidence of a stable knee replacement. This
stability is essential for activities like walking and going
up and down stairs. The ATTUNE Knee comes in a
broad variety of sizes, in both fixed bearing and rotating
platform options. Your doctor will help you choose
which option is best tailored to fit you.

Why the ATTUNE® Knee System
May be Right for You

Rebecca,
ATTUNE® Knee
replacement patient

Every aspect of the ATTUNE Knee has been shaped to
work with your natural knee anatomy, allowing your
muscles, bones, tendons and ligaments to continue to
work together. As a result, your knee replacement feels
more stable and may help you get back on your feet
sooner. In a clinical study, physical therapists noted that
ATTUNE Knee patients had significantly greater range of
motion compared to another leading knee replacement,
both two and six weeks post-surgery. It was also noted
that ATTUNE Knee patients required significantly less
time to meet the necessary criteria to leave the hospital.1

As with any medical treatment, individual results may
vary. The performance of knee replacements depends on
your age, weight, activity level and other factors. There
are potential risks, and recovery takes time. People with
conditions limiting rehabilitation should not have this
surgery. Only an orthopaedic surgeon can tell if knee
replacement is right for you.

Rebecca’s Knee Replacement Journey

Rebecca,
ATTUNE Knee replacement patient

Rebecca is a professional interior designer with a passion
for gardening and spending time with her two grandchildren.
In 2009, she began to experience debilitating pain in
her knees that impacted her work and family life. So,
Rebecca decided to see her orthopaedic surgeon, who
recommended knee replacement surgery.
He replaced both of her knees with ATTUNE Knees in
January 2012. Just two days after surgery, Rebecca returned
home from the hospital, and began rehabilitation and
physical therapy. Recovery was challenging at first, but
she maintained an optimistic attitude. “During physical
therapy, I reminded myself of how far I had come in just
a week.”

Christina Lewis,
Physical Therapist
Director, Towson Sports Medicine

Knowing Rebecca’s love of gardening, her physical
therapist Christina Lewis designed exercises mimicking
the movements she made outside. “Rebecca was near
the top of her class. She didn’t want to get her knees
fixed to sit around. She wanted to get back to
being active.”
Today, Rebecca is back at work and able to move
around her garden and play with her grandchildren
with confidence. She even practices Pilates, thanks
to the range of movement and stability her new knees
provide. Rebecca encourages others suffering from
joint pain to speak to an orthopaedic surgeon.

What is Causing Your Knee Pain?

Your Knee

How Does Knee Replacement Work?

An estimated 70 million people in the U.S. have some
form of arthritis.2 Osteoarthritis, the most common
form of arthritis, is a disease where cartilage covering the
bones wears down over time. In the knee, this results in
one bone rubbing against another bone, causing pain and
reduced motion.

The knee is the largest joint in your body, comprising three
individual bones: the shin bone (tibia), the thigh bone
(femur), and the knee-cap (patella). The knee joint is lined
with cartilage to protect the bones from rubbing against
each other. This ensures that the joint surfaces can glide
easily over one another. A healthy knee is characterized
by strong stability as well as good range of motion.

Knee replacement is a surgical procedure that replaces
diseased joint surfaces with implants that naturally
mimic a healthy knee.

What Can You do About it?
Osteoarthritis is degenerative, meaning it only gets worse.
So it is critical that it’s treated as quickly and effectively
as possible.
Medication, injections, water therapy (ice/hot packs),
physical therapy and other conservative methods can help
manage pain and stiffness associated with osteoarthritis.

Healthy Knee
Cartilage covering the end of each
bone in the joint acts as a cushion

Knee replacement surgery is a viable option that alleviates
pain and improves mobility, by replacing damaged bone
and cartilage. Choosing an ideal knee replacement is
essential to getting back to the activities you love that
much sooner.

Before total knee replacement, patients will often
undergo a pre-operative physiotherapy and weight
loss program. After surgery, a post-operative exercise
regimen helps them regain range of motion, strength
and stability.

Recovering After Knee Replacement
How Can Knee Replacement
Benefit You?
• Relief of arthritic pain and discomfort
• Improved mobility in your knee
•G
 reater freedom and confidence to do everyday
activities, including walking and climbing stairs

Rehabilitation begins almost as soon as surgery is
complete, and the typical activities include range of
motion exercises and walking.
A patient will typically be able to walk unaided,
just 6 weeks after surgery and return to work and
everyday activities. After 12 weeks, patients may
even perform low-impact activities such as golfing,
yoga and swimming. With a superior knee
replacement system and a strong commitment to
rehab, patients can reduce their recovery time and
get back to their favorite activities sooner.
