Hip prosthesis positioning surgical navigation system NaviPro®

optical

A revolutionary New Approach… “Optimize and Document” NaviPro® is the first truly practical and affordable navigation system that provides the surgeon with the ability to determine cup position, leg length and femoral offset with newfound accuracy*. The literature highlights the importance of optimization of cup position, leg length and femoral offset to minimize potential problems of dislocation2,3,6-9, gait4,5 and high joint reaction forces, all of which can lead to accelerated component wear and loosening1,10. The NaviPro system uses an advanced computational approach to overcome limitations associated with measuring complex three-dimensional anatomy intraoperatively so that these parameters can be measured, optimized and documented. Universal – Can Be Used With Any Hip Implant System All the basic functions of the NaviPro system can be used with all current hip implant systems. A NaviPro tracker is easily adapted to typical current cup inserter instruments to allow precise orientation of cup position. Leg length and femoral offset measurements are universally accomplished with any implant system during trialing and after final implant placement. Practical and Easy to Use Unlike other surgical navigation systems the NaviPro system is “Image Free.” No CT, MRI or fluoroscopic imaging is needed. All data is acquired by simple and quick intraoperative registration techniques. Trackers are attached to the pelvis and proximal femur* prior to dislocating the hip. They are then utilized throughout the case to monitor the relative position of the femur and pelvis in order to provide you with accurate feedback on leg length and offset changes.
