You are an extremely unique person and just like your fingerprints, you
are one of a kind - which is why every VISIONAIRE Cutting Guide is designed
to be just as unique as you. Your implant has been shaped to mirror the
natural shape of a healthy knee. The back, or inner surfaces, of your
implant consist of several flat surfaces which come together at precise angles.
However, the process of shaping your bones to tightly fit these angles
can be very complex, invasive and time-consuming because no two knee joints
are exactly the same.
VISIONAIRE Cutting Guides reduce the number of steps required to perform
total knee replacement surgery and eliminate the need to insert guide
rods into the thigh bone, both of which potentially shorten the amount
of time a patient spends in the operating room and reduce some of the
associated risks.
With the rise of robotic-assisted surgery in the field of Orthopaedics,
it is important to understand that world-class Orthopaedic technology
and care does not need robotic assistance - which is why Baxter Health
Orthopaedists prefer VISIONAIRE Cutting Guidance in knee replacement cases
over robotic-arm assistance. Data suggests that robotic-assisted knee
replacements actually have LONGER procedure times, HIGHER cost to patient
on average, and SHORTER recovery windows.
It is important to note that VISIONAIRE Cutting Guides do not change the
basic premise of total knee replacement. To reconstruct the joint's functionality,
your surgeon will remove the damaged bone and soft tissue from your knee
and replace them with specially designed and tested components. VISIONAIRE
Cutting Guides allow your surgeon to select and position your new implant
based on your unique anatomy before even stepping into the operating room.
VISIONAIRE Cutting Guides provide a truly personalized solution to your
surgeon to bridge the gap between the precisely engineered implant and
your unique anatomy. This provides an actual custom-fit procedure that
is shorter and less invasive with a faster and less painful recovery,
leading to improved implant longevity.
The inner shape of the cutting guide matches the outer shape of your bones. This hand-in-glove fit allows surgeons to make the precise bone cuts needed to position the knee implant in the optimal alignment.
Along with a shorter, less-invasive procedure, other benefits may include the potential for a shorter hospital stay and less soft tissue disruption, resulting in a faster road to recovery and less time in rehabilitation.
Just like the tires on your car, accurately aligning an implant can help its performance and extend its longevity.
