How It Works: Custom Fit Knee Replacement

Custom Fit Knee Replacement with OtisKnee is done in a few simple steps.

Step 1: An MRI is performed to take very precise measurements of the patient’s own knee. Knee MRI Image

Step 2: Special computer software uses the MRI to build a 3-D model of that patient’s arthritic knee. It then virtually corrects the deformity to restore the knee anatomy to normal. Computer Model of Arthritic Knee

Step 3: A computerized 3-D image of the implant to be used in the patient’s surgery is then ShapeMatched to the anatomically correct model. This helps determine the exact size and placement of the implant, based on the patient’s own “normal” anatomy. Compture Based Model of Healthy Knee

Step 4: Using all of this information, special OtisKnee cutting guides are then created for the surgeon to use during the procedure. OtisKnee Total Knee Replacement

The Result: A custom fit knee replacement designed specifically for the individual patient. Final MRI results of OtisKnee
