Computer-Assisted Knee Replacement Surgery

One of the latest developments in joint surgery is computer-assisted navigation.

Tools to Improve Positioning

With this method, we can see an interactive display of the lines, angles and measurements needed to position the knee implant. The computer tracks the precise position of your knee joint and the surgical instruments at all times.

As a result, Fletcher Allen surgeons can align and orient your knee implant with the greatest possible precision. This access to real-time, computer-guided accuracy is a significant breakthrough in joint replacement surgery. 

Achieving Better Outcomes 

With these tools, we have the potential to achieve better outcomes such as:

  • Lower risk of post-operative dislocation
  • Improved joint stability
  • Best possible range of motion
  • Precise alignment and placement of the implant may also lead to extended lifespan for your implant and prevention of future corrective surgeries
