Abstract:
Accurate alignment of knee implants is essential for the success of total knee replacemem.Recently,computer-aided navigation systems have become available,and the results showed more accurate and consistent installation of knee implants.The technology has evolved rapidly with widespread and continue to be developed.The current computer environmem and graphical user interface will become more user friendly and thus gain more widespread acceptance among experienced surgeons With this technology growing and systems evolving,computerized navigation will become the standard of care in knee reconstructive surgery.The key of future studies is to evove less invasive tracker anchoring systems,electronic balancers and computerized saws.A hybrid technique between image-based and image-free methods may develop to produce image-enhanced navigation.It should be an intermediary step between current technology and a fully robotic system.
