Why MyKnee?

MORE ACCURATE POSITIONING OF THE PROSTHESIS

MyKnee fits the shape of the knee accurately, allowing for precise preparation of the bone for implanting the prosthesis. Each phase of the operation is planned in advance by the surgeon taking into account the patient’s condition. It has been proven that an accurate positioning results in increased survival of the prosthesis.

 

FASTER SURGERY

The use of the MyKnee technology is very simple and straightforward. It potentially allows the surgeon to reduce the operating time, thus decreasing the time under anaesthetic and the risk of infection.

 

LESS TRAUMATIC PROCEDURE

MyKnee preserves the anatomic structures (e.g., the medullary canal), allowing for a significant decrease of blood loss and risk of embolism.



The MyKnee journey

OBTAIN AN IMAGE OF YOUR KNEE

The surgeon will ask you to have a 3D scan (CT or MRI) of your knee.

 

REPLICATION OF YOUR KNEE

Using the 3D scans, Medacta will create a 3D model of your knee.

CREATION OF MYKNEE

Using the model of your knee, Medacta engineers assist the surgeon and create your personalized surgical instruments.

PREPARATION FOR SURGERY

Prior to surgery, your surgeon will receive the 3D printed MyKnee instruments and the 3D bone model of your knee. These instruments will be used to perform the surgery.

 


Enjoy your new knee!


Why not MyKnee instead of Conventional procedures?

The positioning of a knee prosthesis is achieved using surgical instruments to prepare the bone for implanting the prosthesis. 

Conventional procedures

In conventional procedures, surgical instruments are the same for all patients.
Conventional instrumentation must be adjusted by the surgeon during the procedure in order to achieve satisfactory positioning for each individual.
