Advita Ortho LLC’s GPS surgical navigation platform has supported more than 100,000 joint replacement procedures worldwide, an achievement that is helping the company build one of the largest datasets in surgical navigation.

The milestone strengthens the foundation of the Advita’s AI One platform, which uses de-identified, intra-operative data to analyze surgical performance and workflow.

After each procedure, the GPS data is uploaded into AI One, where planned and checked cut parameters in terms of orientation and position, as well as workflow information captured during surgery is used to generate postoperative reports. As this dataset continues to grow, the aggregated data can help provide insights into surgical workflows and performance characteristics across a large population of procedures.

“Large-scale analyses demonstrate the value of aggregated surgical navigation data in understanding how surgeries are performed in real-world settings,” said Dr. Bruno Gobbato, a contributing author on a study examining intra-operative performance in computer-assisted shoulder arthroplasty.¹ “Analyzing intra-operative performance helps identify patterns and influencing factors that can inform future technology innovation.”

“This milestone reflects continued progress in establishing a robust intraoperative data foundation,” said Richard Friedman, MD, FRCSC, Advita’s Chief Medical Officer. “This work supports objective understanding of surgical execution and helps translate large-scale analysis into practical value for surgeons.”

Surgeons are realizing the value of consistent, real-time feedback provided during surgery, according to the company, including David Novak, M.D., who logged the platform’s 100,000th GPS case. “Navigation provides objective, real-time information during surgery that supports consistent execution,” Dr. Novak stated. “Access to data across a large volume of cases builds even more confidence in Advita’s GPS technology.”

Part of Advita’s Active Intelligence ecosystem, the GPS surgical navigation platform supports knee, shoulder and ankle arthroplasty, bringing intra-operative data across multiple joints into the unified AI One platform.

AI One and GPS are developed by Blue Ortho SAS, an Advita Ortho subsidiary, and distributed by Advita Ortho LLC.
