ORTHOsoft® Unicondylar Knee Navigation System

Combines innovation & reliability

Unicondylar knee surgery can sometimes be challenging for implant alignment.

Computer-navigation provides a better chance to
reach position 0’ (range of deviation -1.0°-1.9°) compared with the conventional technique (range
of deviation: -2.0°-4.0°).⁽¹⁾

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.
