Ankle Replacement CT Protocol

This advanced technology combined with our low-dose, high-resolution 128-slice CT scan enables the system to model your unique anatomy and simulate your surgery. This enables Medical engineers to suggest accurate implant sizing, placement, and alignment.

When your doctor uses this system, he can potentially reduce the number of steps in your surgery, the amount of fluoroscopy (X-ray imaging) required, and your time in surgery. As a patient, you will benefit from accurate implant sizing and alignment.

Proper sizing and alignment is crucial because it impacts your implant’s long-term performance. Generally, accurate sizing and alignment results in a longer-wearing, better-performing joint. In a study of the ankle replacement surgeries using this unique navigation system, the tibial component was sized with precise accuracy in 98% of patients.
