How does it work?

Total knee replacement surgery removes damaged or worn parts of the knee, implants are then used to replace the damaged or worn parts. If this occurs, a total knee replacement is the only choice individuals have for reducing pain and returning to a lifestyle they enjoyed before knee pain became chronic. If you and your surgeon opt for total knee replacement surgery, you may want to learn how ORTHOsoft™ Navitrack® TotalKnee™ can help you in Getting Your Life Back on Track™.

The key to a successful total knee replacement surgery is an accurate alignment of the implants relative to the patient's body. Read on to learn how, during surgery, ORTHOsoft™ Navitrack® TotalKnee™ helps surgeons achieve accurate alignments.

ORTHOsoft™ Navitrack® TotalKnee™allows a surgeon greater precision in determining the range of a leg’s movement during knee replacement surgery. It also assists the surgeon in joint implant alignment with a degree of accuracy that was previously not possible with the naked eye. ORTHOsoft™ Navitrack® TotalKnee™ offers surgeons data and 3D representations to confirm that a knee implant has been properly aligned during surgery. It enables the surgeon to review placement of the implant components relative to the leg’s range of motion during surgery. This assists in maximizing the joint’s range of motion following surgery. It also helps to provide many patients with:

  • Extended life of the implant
  • Restoration of mobility
  • Faster recovery time
  • Less post-operative pain
  • Overall improved clinical outcomes
