Patient Specific Knee Replacement
About Patient Specific Knee Replacement?Mr Barnes embraces new technologies and the Patient Specific Knee Replacement system incorporates cutting edge technology to determine the best positioning for a patient’s knee implant. The implant positioning is based on how the patient moves during day to day activities and live data which is captured during surgery. How does it work?Prior to surgery the patient has X-rays and a CT scan to determine how they use their knee joint in everyday life. During surgery, this new technology captures live data about the knee joint and it’s function. The surgeon uses this information for placement and better alignment of the implant.
