The currently available implants are a one-size fits all solution which rely purely on a surgeon’s technical expertise throughout the procedure.
Now, custom-made surgery using digital and 3D printing technology is revolutionising the way orthopaedic procedures are performed.
Some orthopaedic surgeries are technically demanding so the available options are limited. By creating personalised surgical plans and custom-made implants, such as our TOKA solution, doctors can achieve greater precision and superior outcomes for patients suffering from knee osteoarthritis.
Traditionally, knee osteoarthritis has been treated with a one-size-fits-all approach, using generic implants that may not perfectly match a patient’s specific anatomy. However, with the use of digital and 3D printing technology there are now customised & patient specific options available.
This technology has a much bigger impact than simply a custom-made, 3D printed implant. The surgical instrumentation used in the theatre can also be completely planned around the patient. You can read more about the TOKA system here.
The benefits don’t stop there. Virtual reality can now be used to up-skill surgeons on the new treatments available. For example, MedicoVR, is a virtual reality training environment that provides a convenient environment to inform and educate medical professionals and students on the benefits of TOKA HTO surgery.
Aside from this, one of the key benefits of custom-made surgery is improved precision. By using advanced imaging techniques and 3D modelling software, doctors can create a detailed map of a patient’s anatomy and develop a surgical plan customised to their specific needs. This allows for a more accurate and less invasive procedure, with a faster recovery time.
In addition to improved precision, custom-made surgery can lead to superior outcomes for patients. Using implants specifically designed to fit a patient’s anatomy, we can reduce pain, improve mobility – ultimately enabling patients to lead a greater quality of life.
Digital and 3D printing technology is a game-changing approach to treating knee osteoarthritis. With greater precision, we are able to achieve superior outcomes. This can reduce pain and lead to a greater quality of life.
