Custom Fit Knee™ Replacement
Why a Custom Fit?
Just as all finger prints are unique, so are knees.A recent study has shown that out of 180 normal (non-diseased) knees, 98% were knock kneed or bow legged by a few degrees.* Add to that other distinguishing factors such as age, weight, lifestyle, gender and ethnicity, and it’s no wonder that everyone’s knees are different.
Nowhere is this more important to consider than in total knee replacement. Just a few degrees of variation in the size and placement of your implant can have a significant impact on the immediate and long-term success of your surgery.
While some implant manufacturers have begun designing products that account for general differences between men and women, the implants themselves don’t address that very patient-specific nature of knee anatomy. You are more than your gender, and the Custom Fit Knee™ replacement with OtisKnee™ guide takes all of your unique differences into account.
