Ori­gin Knee Method:

In­no­va­tive ap­proach for ar­ti­fi­cial knee joint re­pla­ce­ments – Pre­sen­ta­tion of first cli­ni­cal data at the ESSKA Spe­cialty Days 2023 in Warsaw.

At the ESSKA Spe­cialty Days 2023 in War­saw, Pol­and, Priv.-Doz. Dr. Ma­xi­mi­lian Kas­pa­rek and Prim. Univ.-Doz. Dr. Tho­mas Müll­ner pre­sen­ted the first pro­mi­sing cli­ni­cal data of the Ori­gin Knee Me­thod, an in­no­va­tive sur­gi­cal tech­ni­que that re­con­s­tructs the na­tu­ral knee anatomy.

The Ori­gin Knee Tech­ni­que is ba­sed on in­ter­na­tio­nal re­se­arch fin­dings show­ing that every knee is uni­que and a per­fectly straight leg does not cor­re­spond to the na­tu­ral norm. This me­thod re­con­s­tructs the in­di­vi­dual bio­me­cha­nics and ana­tomy of the pa­ti­en­t’s knee. The goal is to re­con­s­truct the knee so that it co­mes as close as pos­si­ble to the con­di­tion be­fore osteoarthritis. 

Ad­van­ta­ges of the Ori­gin Knee method:

  • Na­tu­ral knee mo­ve­ment: Th­rough the pre­cise re­con­s­truc­tion of the in­di­vi­dual ana­tomy, pa­ti­ents ex­pe­ri­ence a si­gni­fi­cantly im­pro­ved mo­bi­lity and a na­tu­ral knee feeling.
  • Lower post­ope­ra­tive pain: The me­thod re­du­ces the pain af­ter the ope­ra­tion and en­su­res a fas­ter mobilization.
  • Fast mo­bi­liza­tion: pa­ti­ents can quickly be­come ac­tive again and en­joy life

Of par­ti­cu­lar note is the 3D na­vi­ga­tion, which uses state-of-the-art na­vi­ga­tion tech­no­logy to me­a­sure the knee joint th­ree-di­men­sio­nally and ad­apt the pro­sthe­sis exactly to the pa­ti­en­t’s ana­tomy. The 3D na­vi­ga­tion sup­ports the sur­geon in the pre­cise and gentle im­plan­ta­tion of the pro­sthe­sis. This high pre­cis­ion en­su­res ex­cel­lent func­tion­a­lity of the new knee joint.
