Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Medical Technology
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are common in athletes.
  • Traditional ACL reconstruction techniques can have associated risks.
  • Advancements in surgical navigation aim to improve precision and safety.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To clinically describe computer-aided ACL reconstruction using the Praxim Medivision navigation tool.
  • To highlight the virtual grafting capability of the Praxim Medivision system.
  • To assess the potential of this technology in risk mitigation during ACL surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Clinical description of the Praxim Medivision computer-aided navigation system.
  • Demonstration of virtual graft implantation without initial anchoring channels.
  • Integration with current surgical techniques like semitendinosus tendon reconstruction and extra-cortical anchoring.

Main Results:

  • The Praxim Medivision tool enables virtual graft implantation, allowing pre-operative risk identification.
  • This virtual planning phase helps surgeons avoid potential complications.
  • The navigation system aligns with established surgical methods for ACL reconstruction.

Conclusions:

  • Computer-aided navigation with Praxim Medivision offers a novel approach to ACL reconstruction.
  • Virtual grafting enhances pre-operative planning and risk management.
  • This technology supports current best practices in ACL surgery, potentially improving safety and efficacy.
