Working with leading supporting specialists to enhance your care

Newclip Technics, a leading innovator in orthopaedic solutions, offers Patient-Specific Planning Guides (PSPG) for knee osteotomy surgery. These guides are designed to enhance precision, reduce surgical time, and improve patient outcomes by providing customised surgical tools and planning based on the patient’s unique anatomy.

The process

Pre-Operative Imaging:

  • High-resolution imaging techniques, such as CT scans or MRIs, are used to capture detailed images of the patient’s knee.
  • These images provide critical information about the bone structure, alignment, and any deformities.

3D Modeling and Simulation:

  • The imaging data is processed to create a precise 3D model of the patient’s knee.
  • Surgeons use specialized software to simulate the osteotomy procedure, planning the exact location and orientation of the bone cuts needed to correct the alignment.

Creation of Guides:

  • Based on the surgical plan, custom guides are manufactured using 3D printing technology.
  • These guides are designed to fit perfectly on the patient’s bone, ensuring that the planned cuts and realignments are carried out with pinpoint accuracy.

The patient gets the benefit of the meticulous planning.

Enhanced Precision:

  • The custom guides ensure that bone cuts are made exactly as planned, reducing the margin for error.
  • This precision leads to better alignment and improved joint function post-surgery.

Reduced Surgical Time:

  • Pre-operative planning and the use of patient-specific guides streamline the surgical process.
  • Surgeons can perform the osteotomy more efficiently, which can reduce the overall time spent in the operating room.

Improved Outcomes:

  • Accurate alignment correction reduces the risk of complications and improves long-term outcomes.
  • Patients typically experience less post-operative pain and faster recovery times.

Personalised Care:

  • The guides are tailored to each patient’s unique anatomy, providing a customized approach to knee osteotomy surgery.
  • This personalized care can lead to higher patient satisfaction and better functional results.
