Computer Assisted Joint Replacement

Computer assisted joint replacement Navigation assisted joint replacement was started in 2004 and since then it has been routinely performed. This has helped to vastly improve the accuracy and precision in joint replacements. This is particularly useful to patients in India as most of them have delayed treatment till the knees are quite severely deformed. The open platform Vectorvision system allows accurate assessment of the deformity intraoperatively. It also aids in ligament balancing and placing or prosthesis
accurately. These will surely translate into increased longevity of the prosthesis by reducing wear and tear and ultimately delays the need for a revision surgery.
