Abstract
The VISIONAIRE™ (Smith & Nephew) patient-specific instrumentation is based on a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of the knee and a whole-leg standing radiogram for calculation of the axes. The preoperative planning is based on the surgeon’s individual preferences and can still be changed during the planning process. The surgeon can more easily control the whole-leg standing radiogram measurements than the axes that are calculated from computed tomography (CT) or MRI data. VISIONAIRETM instruments already include the cutting slots and are fully compatible with conventional instruments, in case the surgeon wishes to change any parameters during surgery.
