MedSpark - Femoral Cut Blocks
Total Knee Arthroplasty (replacement) or TKA is a surgical procedure in which the knee joint is replaced by a prosthetic implant. During this procedure, the distal end of the femur must be prepared to accept the femoral component of the replacement joint construct. Following the initial resection, a saw guide is temporarily pinned on the end of the femur and a sagittal saw (see pictures) is utilized by the surgeon to shape the bone. The saw guide helps the surgeon make precision cuts that provide a reliable fit between the resected bone and the implant ensuring optimum knee function restoration.
The MedSpark team has developed several types of saw guides for TKA surgical procedures. One of the femoral cut block systems we`ve developed is especially useful for MIS (Minimally Invasive Surgery) techniques, which can provide superior surgical outcomes for patients. The system provides adequate stabilization of the saw-blade yet still fits into the tight tissue constraints inherent in MIS procedures.
