Evaluate the Safety, Functionality, and the Quality of Life of Patients Who Receive the Freedom Total Knee ® System

The clinical study will involve a series of evaluations performed by your surgeon. These
examinations are consistent with the normal surgeon care as part of Total Knee Replacement
surgery. The study objective is to assess the safety, functionality, and survivorship of the
Freedom Knee System through a multi-center clinical trial. Study endpoints include a
comparison of Pre-Surgery (baseline) versus Post-Surgery data for Range of Motion and
Flexion, Quality of Life (KSS), and survivorship (defined by 'no revisions'). Additionally,
the structural integrity will be evaluated based on the x-ray performed 36-months after knee
replacement.
