Here are five notes:
1. Dr. Manning will perform the surgery as part of the Current Concepts in Joint Replacement Spring Meeting in Las Vegas.
2. Medacta’s platform is composed of the GMK Sphere Medially Stabilized Knee, MyKnee Patient-Matched Technology and GMK Efficiency Single Use Instruments.
3. The platform is the company’s most recent TKR innovation.
4. Dr. Manning used Medacta’s MyKnee Patient-Matched Technology to change the patient’s anatomy CT images into patient-specific cutting blocks before the procedure. He will use the platform’s GMK Sphere Medially Stabilized Knee in today’s procedure as well as Medacta’s GMK Efficient Single Use Instruments.
5. Board certified in orthopedics, Dr. Manning has written more than 30 scientific publications relevant to TKR surgery.
“Surgeons have been performing total knee replacements for almost half a century, but achieving universally excellent patient satisfaction for the procedure remains an elusive goal,” said Dr. Manning. “Medially stabilized TKR implant designs assist in providing sagittal plane stability and more normal kinematics.”
