The NextAR TM TKA Application, with a precise reconstruction of the patient bone morphology, allows direct tracking of the collateral ligaments and a 3D analysis of soft tissue behavior throughout the whole range of motion during surgery, bringing patient-specific ligament balancing to the next level. This functionality is an exciting advancement from traditional computer-assisted or robotic-assisted surgical systems that only track the relative movement of the knee bones, not the actual soft tissue.’ ‘With the NextAR TM TKA Application, we are able to track 3D soft tissue behavior during a surgery in real time. With enhanced visualization via augmented reality, the NextAR TM Platform is an innovative and efficient tool for ultra-precise, patient-specific treatment,’ said Dr Michael McAuliffe (MBBS FRACS), an orthopaedic surgeon at St Andrew’s Ipswich Hospital in Queensland, Australia, and a member of the expert surgeon panel that Medacta collaborated with to develop the NextAR TM TKA Application.
This improves the user experience and helps the surgeon remain focused on the patient at all times. The Augmented Reality glasses provided with the NextAR TM Platform allow the surgeon to visualize surgical actions and information in real-time, directly on the operative field. ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs), which provide same-day surgical care. This new platform will be an optimal solution particularly for U.S. The NextAR TM TKA Application has the goal to improve efficiency and precision in total knee replacement and deliver personalized planning, with low upfront capital investment required by clinics and hospitals, as well as economic benefits to the healthcare system through OR efficiency and low cost per procedure. The NextAR TM TKA is the first application of a new platform technology, which will be extended to hip, shoulder and spine procedures, designed and engineered with Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning that make pre-operative CT-based planning and analysis efficient and precise. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its NextAR TM Augmented Reality based surgical platform for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) procedures. The NextAR TM surgical platform embodies Medacta’s philosophy of healthcare sustainability, while providing a comprehensive system which allows for limited capital investment for healthcare facilities and low per-case disposable cost.įor more information about the NextAR TM platform, please visit today announced it has received clearance from the U.S.
Having this technology, including the 3D analysis of soft tissues throughout the whole range of motion, allows me and all surgeons to perform the operation better.’ ‘Every person’s knee is different in terms of their ligaments some ligaments are tighter, some are looser. Over the past few years, we’ve learned that optimal balancing of the knee ligaments results in a joint replacement that feels more natural for the patient,’ said Dr. ‘Never before have we been able to do surgery with this much information available in real-time, during the operation. The new NextAR TM TKA application allows for great precision and control, ultimately translating to great efficiency in the operating room. During the operation, the surgeon can precisely control every step of the procedure and make careful adjustments based on real-time data. Prior to surgery, the surgeon uses a 3D virtual model of the patient’s knee to choose the best implant and position to restore the patient’s unique anatomy. This improves the user experience, helping the surgeon to remain focused on the patient at every moment. The augmented reality glasses provided with the NextAR TM platform allow the surgeon to visualize surgical actions and information in real-time, directly on the operative field.
