Measurements and calculations aside, are there actual differences between conventional total knee replacement surgery and Custom Fit total knee replacement surgery?
Conventional knee replacement surgery often completely removes a major ligamentthe posterior cruciate ligament. Custom Fit total knee replacement surgery saves the posterior cruciate ligament because it is so well-balanced and functional after the implant is placed that we no longer have to remove this ligament. In addition, the alignment rod, associated with a possible increase in postoperative lung problems, is not needed with CFTK surgery. The clinical results have been up to 20% better, 3 months sooner when compared to patient results in the current orthopaedic literature.
