Aristote (384-322 av. J-C.)
The orthopedic literature and registries report that total knee arthroplasty gives good results, with an average 15-year survival rate of 93%. However, despite encouraging clinical results in terms of longevity, publications report a high dissatisfaction rate of up to 30% among patients following implantation of a knee prosthesis. In parallel, many authors have published work on the wide variety of native (or pre-arthritic) knee forms and on the importance of adapting the knee prosthesis realignment strategy to each patient rather than dogmatically. Understanding of the functional anatomy of the knee has progressed considerably in recent years, which should significantly improve the future clinical outcomes of knee replacement.
Symbios first released its KNEE-PLAN® planning software in 2010, which offers custom cutting guides for three-dimensional prosthesis planning and helps surgeons position implants more accurately than with conventional instrumentation. In 2018, Symbios turned a new corner with the introduction of its ORIGIN® Custom knee prosthesis, which now offers the possibility to customise the shape and alignment of the prosthesis to each patient’s anatomy. The aim of the ORIGIN® prosthesis is to realign the patient’s lower limb according to its native anatomical alignment (or phenotype), to correct only the wear deformation resulting from osteoarthritis. With customised implants, surgeons can achieve this bone resurfacing and alignment objective while freeing themselves from the shape limitations imposed by standard prostheses, thus increasing patient satisfaction.
To inform surgeons of the advantages of the ORIGIN® Custom knee prosthesis and to minimise their surgical technique learning curve, Symbios has developed a complete training programme around the ORIGIN® concept.
