Description
Arne Van de Vyver and co-authors present a 2026 cadaver study of a new navigation platform for knee replacement surgery. The system feeds the surgeon live information on bone cuts, implant position, joint motion, and ligament stretch during the operation.
Six cadaver legs were scanned, fitted with patient-specific guides, and flexed through a squatting motion in a simulator before and after receiving a medially stabilized implant. Most motion measures after surgery closely matched the native knee, although internal rotation of the shin differed over part of the range. Strain in the inner ligament matched well, while the outer ligament's strain differed in deeper bending. The authors see the feedback as a practical aid to restoring natural knee behaviour.
