Which size range is most common for Journey II femoral components?

• A. 1-2
• B. 9-10
• C. 3-8 Most Common
• D. 1-8

Answer: (C)

Choosing the right femoral component size hinges on matching the implant to the width of the distal femur so it covers the condyles without overhang onto soft tissues. For the Journey II system, mid-range sizes are encountered most often because the average distal femur width in many patients falls into this middle band. The sizes in this range provide good coverage of the femoral anatomy while minimizing the risk of edge overhang, which can irritate surrounding tissues. As a result, the 3-8 range ends up being the most commonly used set of sizes in typical cases. Smaller sizes are reserved for very small frames, and very large sizes are less common due to overall population anatomy and implant geometry.
