Core Tip |
The obscuring of bony landmarks by the pre?vious implant, scar formation, the loss of bone stock and ligamentous insufficiency, make revision total knee arthroplasty very demanding. Current navigation systems do not typically allow reconstruction of the anatomic joint line, which is an important factor in implant survival, or compensation for the absence of classical landmarks. We present an imageless navigation system for revision total knee arthroplasty. The system automatically positions the cutting guides with a motorized cutting unit. We assessed the surgical technique, and accompanying software procedural steps, of the system, identifying any advantages or disadvantages that they present. |
