KneeAlign™ System:  Key Take-Aways

	Palm-sized surgical navigation system for tibial resection in Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA).
	Compatible with all TKA systems.
	Precision of large console computer-assisted surgery (CAS) with the simplicity of conventional instrumentation.
	Disposable unit for one-time use: significantly lower in cost than large console CAS.
	510(k) cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as being substantially equivalent to large console CAS systems on the market (and currently in FDA 510(k) review for system upgrade).
	Early clinical and cadaver studies support the KneeAlign™ system’s ability to enable on-target tibial implant alignment.
	Requires no capital expenditures and entails only a small learning curve (estimated to be about 3 cases based on clinical feedback), enabling the hospital and its surgeons to evaluate the system with minimal investment and time commitment.
	Potential to reduce total knee arthroplasty surgery times by using easily identifiable landmarks to precisely calculate the mechanical axis, reducing the surgeon’s need to estimate the tibia’s position in its soft tissue envelope.
	Potential to increase hospital revenues by enabling the hospital to attract patients and surgeons as a computer-assisted surgery technology center.
	Does not require a CT Scan, MRI or additional x-rays.

At OrthAlign, Inc. we understand the rigorous preparation and support that each surgery requires, and the demanding schedule that nurses, physician assistants, technicians and other operating room personnel face. We have designed the KneeAlign™ system to minimize the hassle and length of pre-operative set-up, so that health care professionals can focus on patient care and surgeon support rather than product support.

The KneeAlign™ system assists the surgeon in precise placement of the tibial cutting block in total knee arthroplasty. Based on clinical experience, it entails only a short learning curve, allowing the surgeon and hospital to quickly evaluate the system at minimal cost.
