Surgical Navigation for Total Knee Replacement
Medtronic’s surgical navigation solution for imageless total knee replacement offers an open-platform and implant-independent approach to navigation.
Navigate Key Steps of Total Knee Replacement Procedures
- Femoral and tibial cuts
- Location, depth, angles for cut guides
- Soft tissue balancing
Provides Quick Referencing and Tracking of Anatomy
The StealthStation® surgical navigation software provides quantitative feedback to the surgeon on critical measurements of alignment:
- Degrees of external/internal rotation
- Posterior slope
- Flexion/extension
- Varus and valgus
- Slope, rotation and depth of tibial and femoral resection
Patient Benefits
- Precise implant placement has potential to reduce implant wear and the need for revision surgeries
- Successful surgical results could lead to restoration of natural bone alignment, less pain, a quick recovery to mobility, and better functionality in daily life
Surgeon Benefits
- Excellent documentation of pre- and post-implant placement information with the ability to “snapshot” the on-screen data for your files
- Quantitative kinematic data provided on patient’s baseline knee comparing to patient’s knee with implant trials
Surgical Navigation for Total Hip Replacement
Our surgical navigation solution for total hip replacement provides a continual, intraoperative view of pelvic/femoral orientation with a simple tracking reference frame.
Navigates Key Steps of Total Hip Replacement Procedures
- Reamer depth and position
- Cup impactor depth and position for targeting optimal alignment
Provides Quick Referencing and Tracking of Anatomy
The StealthStation® navigation software provides quantitative feedback to the surgeon on critical measurements:
- Degrees of adduction/abduction
- Anteversion/retroversion
- Leg length and offset pre- and post-op
Patient Benefits
- More accurate implant placement has potential to reduce implant wear and the need for revision surgeries
- Potentially reduce variability in leg lengths and final cup placement, reduce the risk of dislocation
Surgeon Benefits
Detail - Imageless hip replacement surgical navigation
Detail - Surgical navigation solutions for hip replacement
- Excellent documentation of pre- and post-implant placement information with the ability to “snapshot” the on-screen data for files
- Supports visualization for the acetabular reaming, perfects planning and placement of cup angles, achieves the desired leg length and offset
