Patient-specific knee replacements (Trumatch)

Patient-specific instrumented (PSI) knee replacement

Patient-specific instrumented knee replacement uses pre-operative imaging, such as CT or MRI, to create a 3D digital model of your knee. Custom surgical guides are then designed to match your individual anatomy.

Mr Pavlou may recommend this approach for patients with:

• Significant deformity
• Previous fractures
• Retained metalwork from prior surgery that interferes with standard knee replacement insertion

Potential benefits

• Personalised surgical planning
• Improved implant positioning
• Reduced operative time
• Better management of complex anatomy
• Preservation of healthy bone

Recovery and outcomes are generally similar to standard knee replacement. Mr Pavlou will advise if this technique is appropriate for you.
