Custom Knee Replacement
Custom Knee Replacement is a new technology in total knee replacement. Rather than using traditional jigs and guides for performing the surgery, the guides are custom-made to fit an individual patient’s unique anatomy. All of the planning is done before surgery based on a CT or MRI scan of your knee. A 3-D computer model is generated. This allows for very precise detail and precision in implant placement and alignment.
Custom cutting guides are then made based upon the surgical plan and computer model. Each pair of guides is unique and matched to one patient, one knee. The result is a more efficient surgical process with predictable results.
While not every knee replacement requires custom guides, they can offer specific advantages in many patients.
