PSE poly. Total knee replacement. Does - anyone know the S/M


Posted: Mar 29, 2011

what the correct expanded form of this would be?  It is a TKR.  I think PS might be posterior stabilized, but I am stumped with the rest.  Check on Google, went to Biomet Vanguard site.  No help.  TIA

PSE - MT

Maybe it's just the trademarked name and doesn't need to be expanded, even in a diagnosis section.
