Exactech has launched a new balancing technology for total knee replacement patients that helps improve implant positioning and balancing.

Harnessing the power of ExactechGPS computer-assisted technology, the Newton knee procedure provides surgeons visual guidance for personalized, balanced results.
 
“This is exciting news for total knee replacement patients in the local area,” said Earl Kilbride, M.D., a total knee surgeon at the Austin Orthopedic Institute. “Exactech’s newest knee technology lets us personalize the surgery for patients and their unique anatomy and helps me make real-time decisions for improved results.”
 
Accurate positioning and balance of knee replacements is important to a knee implant’s success and longevity. The company’s new balancing technology allows surgeons to see patients’ joints in real-time to place the implant precisely. Combined with Exactech knee implants, featuring advanced 3D printing technology and the latest generation polyethylene insert that incorporates vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant, Exactech is on the forefront of high-tech knee replacement surgery.
 
“We are delighted to bring this technology to the area, especially for younger and more active patients who require a truly personalized solution for total knee replacement surgery,” Exactech Chief Medical Officer and Senior Vice President of Large Joints Adam Hayden stated. “Our new Exactech technology combined with a full platform of advanced implants are designed to work together to provide stability and function, with the goal of giving patients exactly what they need to regain their mobility.”
