    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Medical Device Design

    Background:

    • Implant malplacement is a primary cause of total knee replacement (TKR) loosening.
    • Improving surgical precision is crucial for long-term TKR success and patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate a novel surgical jig for precise bone preparation in TKR.
    • To assess the jig's ability to achieve accurate alignment and minimize TKR loosening.

    Main Methods:

    • A novel jig was designed, featuring a 3-degree-of-freedom sliding saw aligned to the tibia.
    • A central distractor facilitated knee positioning at 0 or 90 degrees.
    • The femur was rigidly linked to the jig for precise bone resection.

    Main Results:

    • The jig system allows for precise bone cuts in total knee replacement surgery.
    • Resurfacing designs were implanted with alignment within +/- 1 degree.
    • This level of precision is anticipated to reduce implant loosening.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed jig offers a method for highly accurate bone preparation in TKR.
    • Achieving precise alignment is expected to minimize mechanical complications like loosening.
    • Enhanced surgical accuracy holds the potential to improve functional outcomes after total knee replacement.
