Computer navigation uses a GPS system that helps the surgeon align and orient knee implants with the patient’s anatomy. This enables the surgeon to place the prosthesis in a position to give the new knee the best strength, stability and range of movement. Another benefit is fewer of post-op pain from tendonitis, bursitis, etc. and by placing the components in the right position, wear is decreased.
