Competitive Advantages
- Custom surgical guide created from MRI to suit each patient’s anatomy
- Quick and accurate intra-operative application without navigation
- Accurate placement facilitates better restoration of knee kinematics
- Conformation to the bone in the tunnel region
Summary
Our inventors have created a custom guide based on the patient’s unique anatomy. The device is constructed using pre-operative MRI, which visualizes the anatomy of each patient. The images are filtered to generate computerized three dimensional ligament models to ensure that the device uniquely conforms to the bone in the region of the desired tunnel. It can be introduced through the portal and applied to the bone denuded of soft tissue.
