Unicondylar knee surgery allows:
- To perform minimally invasive surgery, thus tissue damage is minimal and ligaments are preserved
- To operate younger, healthier patients
- The patient to potentially recuperate full range of movement. He should potentially be able to squat and sit cross-legged
- Post operative hospitalization to likely be reduced to two days. It would then enable the patient to return to normal life faster than for a TKR
“Computer-assisted navigation offers better visualization when calibrating the axis and can help to avoid overcorrection. Therefore, computer navigation seems to be useful feature in improving implantation techniques, long-term results, and patient outcomes.”(1)
Combining innovation and reliability, this New ORTHOsoft navigation solution offers numerous benefits to both surgeons and patients.
For the surgeon:
- It is the world’s first application on the market to provide final alignment outcome prediction in real-time right before the cuts are performed
- It overcomes the challenges in implant alignment
- It offers alternate workflows to support different implant philosophies (cut based or resurfacing)
- It has been specially designed to help reduce operative time
|
For the patient:
- It permits shorter rehabilitation time due to MIS and bone stock preservation
For the hospital & healthcare provider:
- Speed of recovery and psychosocial variables associated with being ill may have a large effect on hospital & overall healthcare costs.(2)
- Navigation is recognized to reduce hospital stay which may lead to increased hospital profitability.
