MEDACTA PUTS STATE OF THE ART TECHNOLOGY IN YOUR HANDS

Medacta^® International is committed to developing high level technologies to improve the surgeon’s daily activities and maximize patient satisfaction.

Muscle Sparing knee Surgery (MSS) minimizes surgical trauma to reduce knee pain and provide earlier functional recovery. Different MSS approaches are available for TKR. The mini subvastus provides a specific set of potential benefits: [1-4] No muscle cut No patella eversion No joint dislocation Reduced scar Excellent exposure Versatile approach

NOT ONLY SHORT TERM BENEFITS “At 1 year, the quadriceps strength of the Mini-Subvastus TKA knee was equal to that of the uninvolved side, whereas MMP [the medial parapatellar] TKA was 24% weaker than the uninvolved side.” [5]

EXPERIENCE THE DIFFERENCE!

Medacta^® proposes a detailed and exhaustive Education Program, including visits to experienced surgeons, wet labs and support during your first surgeries.
Just contact Medacta® and we will arrange the Education Program for you!
