Summary
Knee replacement surgery is a highly invasive, complex procedure,
and success is dependent upon the expertise of the surgeon. If the
implantation is done incorrectly, several complications arise,
including follow-up surgeries. Researchers at the University of
Nebraska have developed a computer aided suite of tools and
software that greatly enhance the accuracy of implant procedures,
while allowing surgeons to more successfully perform the surgery.
Market Value
In the event of knee surgery, it is important for both the patient and
hospital that the procedure be performed correctly the first time. This
new suite of tools will allow for hospitals to perform a greater
number of replacement surgeries while improving patient outcome.
Features and Benefits
oReduced surgical time
oFewer costly tools required
oCustomizable user interface
oImproved patient outcome
