i-Assist Knee and other forms of computer navigation are new technologies that have been created by implant manufacturing companies for the purpose of perfecting knee replacement surgery on an absolutely consistent basis.
This tool essentially allows the surgeon to accurately align his instruments to your anatomy while performing knee replacement surgery on the knee. This technology is fully compatible with all conventional implants.
While some view computer navigation as further refinement to knee replacement surgery, it is often the choice of the surgeon whether to use this device while performing surgery.
