All information provided on this website is for informational purposes only and is not meant as medical advice. Not everyone is a candidate for the LEGION Total Knee System with OXINIUM Technology, and individual results of joint replacement will vary. Implants are intended to relieve knee pain and improve function but may not produce the same feel or function as your original knee. Every patient's case is unique and each patient should follow his or her doctor's specific instructions. Potential risks include loosening, wear, and infection that may result in the need for additional surgery. Discuss your implant options with your surgeon. Please discuss nutrition, medication, and treatment options with your doctor to make sure you are getting the proper care for your particular situation. If you are seeking this information in an emergency, please call 911 and seek emergency help.
