TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT WITH NAVIGATION

The smooth surface of the artificial implants just like a normal knee can allow for easy, painless movement. Computer Navigated Surgery is a state-of-the-art surgical technique that lifts the accuracy of joint replacement surgery from around 80 percent to up to 95 percent, so improving the longevity and functioning of the artificial joint Computer navigated systems do not perform the operation! They do not replace the skill and experience of your surgeon, but its invaluable tools that enhance the outcome of total knee replacement operations.

Navigation uses an infrared camera, computer with sophisticated software to provide real-time, patient-specific information during surgery while virtually eliminating expensive and radiation-intensive CT & MRI scan before the surgery.
Proven in U.S.A., Europe, and Asia-Pacific for more than 100.000 knee implantations, Navigation enables the surgery to consistently achieve results that are far more accurate than via conventional methods.

How Does Computer Navigation Work

• Light-Emitting diodes are attached to the bones to the leg and knee and are used to communicate to a computer.

Computer Navigation Machine:

• Monitors every step of the surgery and allows errors to be identified and corrected.
• Real-time digital reconstructions of the knee and leg allow the surgeon to confirm every step of the surgery.

Benefits Of Computer Navigation

The precise position of the implants is a critically important element of durable knee replacement. Most knee replacements are done today rely on the surgeon's ability to see and feel when the knee is properly aligned and balanced. However, Computer Navigated Surgery helps to eliminate the guesswork from the surgery. Now, Computer Navigation Technology is combined with MIS Techniques. The computer provides real-time, 3-D imaging and guides the surgeon's cuts, it also confirms the accuracy of the cuts. Navigation also companions technology for MIS total knee replacement.

Component position, range of motion, ligament tensioning and, overall limb alignment is accurately and clearly viewed at every step during the operation. Errors in techniques that would otherwise go unnoticed can be quickly seen and corrected. Computer Navigation used during knee replacement helps to minimize the amount of surgical dissection and to ensure proper positioning of the implants. Accurate alignment of the knee components is critical to the overall function of your new joint which also makes it last longer.

Advantages Of Computer Navigated/Assisted Knee Replacement

• Increases the life of the joint Reduces the risk of dislocation and revision Surgery
• Results in greater stability and range of motion Provide comprehensive data about anatomy, alignment, and component position which may result in I more exact placement of joint replacement
• Allows the surgeon to more accurately plan for your surgery with the use of digital images of your hip, knee, and ankle
• Provides the surgeon with more control, feedback, and the ability to correct potential errors during the surgery
• Reduced blood loss during surgery lessens the need for a blood transfusion
• Faster Recovery
• Less scarring
• Shorter post-operative physical rehabilitation
