Study results highlight the ability of Exactech’s Newton knee balancing technology to execute dynamic joint balance with a short learning curve.
The new study, which reviewed the first 273 surgeries using Exactech’s Newton Knee balancing system, demonstrated the ability of surgeons to achieve targeted gap balance throughout each patient’s range of motion. Combined with ExactechGPS, the Newton technology allowed surgeons to create a surgical plan based on real-time soft tissue data and validate the achieved gap balance once the plan was executed. The research assessed learning curves associated with the adoption of the streamlined tibia-first gap balancing protocol and found them to be minimal.
Used in more than 1,000 cases, Newton offers dynamic soft tissue analytics, predictive pre-resection operative insight and full-range personalized planning designed to help simplify, evaluate and execute reproducible balanced total knee replacement surgery.
Newton, GPS and other smart solutions comprise Active Intelligence, Exactech’s enabling technology ecosystem that supports orthopedic surgeons in and out of the operating room.
