Lack of motion, both selection and kinematics, can mean less satisfaction for patients who are unable to return to the demanding activities of their active lifestyle. Surgeons are left tempering patient expectations and tolerating the limited capabilities of traditional knee replacements.

3 The solution is PHYSIOLOGICAL MATCHING Technology through function, motion and durability For orthopaedic surgeons seeking treatment solutions beyond traditional knee replacements, JOURNEY II Active Knee Solutions has been engineered to empower patients with a renewed right to an active lifestyle by breaking through traditional knee replacement barriers and delivers unmatched Function, Motion and Durability through PHYSIOLOGICAL MATCHING Technology.

4 Function Stability Prominent posterior medial lip provides stability and promotes normal kinematics Femur the Patello-Femoral compartment Anatomic, articular surfaces are designed to restore native anatomy and yield a normal anatomic A/P position throughout the range of motion. JOURNEY PFJ and JOURNEY UNI Provide retention of the ACL and PCL allowing the native anatomy to provide its innate stability. JOURNEY II TKA Provides a proper femoro-tibial A/P position yielding a virtual elimination of paradoxical 6-13 Conventional AP sulcus Normal AP sulcus position prevents paradoxical motion Smaller anterior lateral lip allows screw home Restores anatomic 3 distal and posterior femoral joint line and providing more normal ligament strain and patello-femoral tracking JOURNEY II BCS Knee System with PHYSIOLOGICAL MATCHING Conventional TKA Anterior stability ACL function Bi-Cruciate Stabilized Normal convexity provides increased posterior lateral slope to facilitate anatomic lateral femoral rollback and external rotation ACL replicated by anterior cam-post interaction Provides anterior stabilization during early gait (up to In contact only if needed Has shown a 76% return to normal AP stability in the original BCS design 14 Normal Conventional JOURNEY II CR JOURNEY II BCS

5 Strength the proper A/P positioning, thereby preventing muscle fatigue during activities of daily living. JOURNEY PFJ and JOURNEY UNI Restores patients strength by replacing only the isolated, diseased portion of the knee allowing anatomic A/P alignment for the native anatomy to function as it had before surgery. JOURNEY II TKA Restoration of both the anatomic A/P alignment and the normal kinematic patterns of the knee should produce more normal neuromuscular, 1 demonstrated in the original BCS design.

JOURNEY PFJ and JOURNEY UNI The preservation of the natural structures (ACL and PCL) is preferred by 16, 17 patients. JOURNEY II TKA Restoration of more normal neu- motion should improve a patient s ability to perform the 18, 19 original JOURNEY BCS design.

7 Patellofemoral (PF) kinematics The kinematic pattern in the PF joint is critically important to decrease anterior knee pain post operatively 22, 23, 24, 2 and the associated revisions. Provides improved contact which should improve wear performance 22 Provides improved patella tracking which should 22, 23 minimize anterior pain Provides more freedom of baseplate positioning without maltracking concerns 26 Conventional PS TKA JOURNEY II TKA In Vivo 27 In Vivo +std dev Inv Vivo -std dev Flexion The normal kinematic patterns of movement provide the performance.

8 Durability Combining the award-winning materials of OXINIUM Oxidized Zirconium and highly cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), Smith & Nephew was able to create VERILAST Technology, a highly durable and long-lasting material combination.using this technology, JOURNEY II TKA is designed to match the same high standards for wear performance.

Zirconium is a nearly inert material that has not reported to induce immune reactions. 41

10 Innovating for the lifecycle Following on a rich history of partial knee arthroplasty and success of the JOURNEY BCS design which showed recovery of normal patterns of motion and high gains in flexion 6-13, 21, Smith & Nephew has created a seamless, next generation family of partial and primary knee designs intended to restore patients to an unmatched level of function, motion and durability Richards Manufacturing Company Marmor Uni Richards Manufacturing collaborate with Dr. Leonard Marmor to commercially produce the first unicondylar knee on the market GENESIS Total Knee System The introduction of the GENESIS TKS was a significant step in the evolution of the modern knee designs. It was the first system the Address the Unexpected. With a single set of instruments and implants, virtually any interoperative situation could be handled. This technological advancement greatly simplified the process of TKA. Designers: Dr. Ramon Gustilo, Dr. Jim Rand, Dr. Richard Laskin, Dr. James Howe, and Dr. Todd Swanson GENESIS II Total Knee System Launched as one of the first asymmetric femoral component designs, opening up the opportunity for less traditional knee designs. Over 1 million GENESIS II knees have been implanted globally. The first OXINIUM Alloy total knee implantation. Over the past 1 + years over 600k OXINIUM Alloy hips and knees have been implanted worldwide 199 GENESIS UNI GENESIS UNI launched in collaboration with Professor Cartier and Dr. James Andrews has demonstrated to be one of the most clinically successful unicondylar knees on the market (94.% at years) JOURNEY PFJ The JOURNEY PFJ combines the clinically proven performance of its trochlear groove with powerful precision-the first completely instrumented JOURNEY PFJ system for greater reproducibility and ease of use. Designers: Dr. John Neuman, FRCS, William B. Smith, MD, E. Lyle, Dr. E. Lyle Cain Jr., and Dr. Jeffrey R. Dugas 200 Engineering Materials Achievement Awarded to Smith & Nephew for use of OXINIUM Oxidized Zirconium.
