Agility?Total Ankle System: An alternative to ankle fusion surgery

Knee Replacement Surgery
DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc., a Johnson & Johnson company, offers a range of knee replacement systems including Rotating Platform Knees, the only knee replacements that bend and rotate, offering more natural movement. Today, improved technologies have revolutionized knee replacements, allowing more patients to seek treatment sooner.
Rotating Platform Knees are available only from DePuy. These are the only knee replacements in the United States that allow the knee to slightly twist and turn, as well as flex and extend, making movement more natural.
Remember, there痴 only one company that offers knee replacements that bend and rotate, offering more natural movement.

Computer Assisted Surgery
Ultimately the driving force for adopting any new technology is to deliver a better quality of care to the patient. The application of Computer Assisted Surgery (CAS) technology in orthopaedic practice is still, in relative terms, in its infancy.
The Ci? System is fully integrated: powerful computing within light, portable hardware and intuitive, easy to follow software interfaces that provide information when it`s needed. Through the Ci System, surgeons access an environment that offers more informed decision making, with more control over the surgery - at every stage of each procedure - to implant the prostheses. The difference in TKR procedures will be measured in precision and consistency of clinical outcome. The difference in minimally invasive procedures will be even more profound, as transparency of patient anatomy transforms surgical vision. These are differences that will be measured, and valued, by every surgeon and every patient.
