Douglas E. Jessup, MD
In this VJO New Development video, Douglas Jessup, MD of Richmond, Virginia, performs total knee arthroplasty with a newly introduced, state-of-the-art knee system and instrumentation platform. The Vanguard™ total knee offers a swept back femoral component with a deepened trochlear groove that does not require additional bone cuts. The longer trochlear groove allows the patella to stay in the groove further into flexion before it transitions out of the groove and onto the condyle. This design supports the patella and is much friendlier to the patella tendon. Furthermore, the system offers full interchangeability with multiple femoral and tibial size options.
