NextAR Knee – Live Surgery: Dr. Michael Engl (IT), Ospedale di Vipiteno (Italy)
NextAR Knee is part of Medacta’s Augmented Reality surgical platform. It is an advanced solution that allows surgeons to replicate their preoperative planning for total knee replacement intraoperatively and leverages patient-specific, real-time data to enhance precision and enable intraoperative decision-making based on each patient’s unique anatomy and soft tissue behavior.
Dr. Engl from Ospedale di Vipiteno (Vipiteno, Italy) has performed several surgeries featuring NextAR Knee and is now one of Medacta’s Key Opinion Leaders in Europe for this technology. In this video, Dr. Engl performs a total knee replacement surgery to implant the GMK Sphere, supported by the NextAR Knee platform and the MyKnee NextAR PPS option. This option allows for easy and rapid positioning of the NextAR sensors on the patient’s femur and tibia with the aid of patient-specific blocks.
