Computer Assisted Knee Replacement
Computer Assisted Knee Surgery
Some surgeons have begun to utilize Computer Assisted Surgery to aid them in performing less invasive procedures or to produce more accurate and repeatable results in a “standard” procedure. Here, a computer is used along with motion tracking devices to track the position of the knee joint and help align the implants.
This technology is fairly new. It is safe to say that a very small percentage of surgeons practice computer assisted knee surgery, but numbers are increasing. Whether use of the computer significantly improves the long term performance of implants has yet to be determined.
