Total Knee Arthroplasty: Where Personalization Really Happens

In total knee arthroplasty, personalization does not stop at implant selection. It goes further than most people assume, reaching into the geometry of the resection itself.

Precision to the Degree and the Millimeter

In the planning, parameters such as the varus/valgus angle of the distal resection or the internal rotation of the femoral component are set to the degree and the millimeter for that specific patient, before the surgeon even enters the OR. Each value follows the alignment philosophy chosen for that patient and the anatomy captured in their imaging, not a generic template applied across cases.

Where Manufacturers Differentiate

That is where part of the differentiation between manufacturers plays out: not only in implant geometry, but in the precision of the plan that comes with it. Two systems can share similar component designs and still deliver very different outcomes, depending on how tightly the preoperative plan reflects that specific patient and that specific surgeon's intent.

A Planning Platform Built Around Your Portfolio

That is precisely what 3D-Side builds: a planning platform shaped around the manufacturer's implant portfolio and surgical philosophy, paired with patient-specific guides that carry that plan into the operating room.

That same precision doesn't stop on screen. It carries through to manufacturing: fast, accurate and safe, in Belgium as well as in the United States.
