Personalized Knee Replacement

“The aim of this study was to investigate the safety of the new personalised treatment [for tibial replacement] compared to the standard treatment. For the first time, a detailed computer simulation clinical trial was performed, using imaging data from 28 real patients. The computer simulation compared the risk of the implant failure between the personalised and standard treatments. The personalised treatment did not have a higher risk of implant failure than standard treatment. This supports further clinical studies looking at the benefits of personalised over standard realignment surgery. The personalised treatment has the potential to allow much more widespread use of realignment surgery to treat early knee osteoarthritis.” MORE
