Developing 3D knee-replacement planning software that includes the kneecap joint
Knee-replacement planning software often focuses on the thighbone–shinbone joint, leaving the kneecap to be assessed during surgery. The two joints affect each other, so planning one alone does not capture the whole knee or the trade-offs in implant positioning.
Arthro ID is developing Knee ID, software that builds a patient-specific knee model from medical scans. It includes the main knee and kneecap joints to help surgeons assess implant positions before surgery.
