Orthopaedic Navigation
The navigation opens new, reproducible approaches for the surgical treatment of unicompartmental gonarthrosis. Especially in the reduced visual field common in minimally invasive surgery, this is a valuable, if not indispensable component for achieving the ideal implant position.
Minimally invasive, but reliable – with OrthoPilot® UKA
The main objective of the minimally invasive unicondylar knee endoprosthetic technique is to increase patient satisfaction and shorten hospital stays whilst reducing postoperative pain and rehabilitation time. univation® is the only sledge prosthesis to be implanted with navigation. OrthoPilot® UKA combines the advantages of unicondylar knee implants with minimal-invasive surgical technique and navigation.
When used together with the ergonomically designed minimally invasive instruments (MIOS®) especially adapted for this purpose, safe and reliable minimally invasive surgery is possible.
OrthoPilot® provides support during tibial resection and when aligning the femoral prosthesis. Via the load axis, it is possible to visualise the degree of axis correction at any time.
