William Stanfield, MD, Is First Cleveland-area Orthopedic Surgeon to Perform OtisKnee Custom Fit Knee Replacement
Date:8/11/2009

ee uses custom fit technology to ensure proper alignment of the replacement knee. Up to 40% less bone is cut from the thigh bone and all ligaments are spared, giving a more natural-feeling knee, less post-operative pain and a faster recovery," Dr. Stanfield explains.

OtisKnee relies on computerized technology before and during knee replacement surgery. Before surgery, the patient has an MRI to take very precise measurements of the arthritic knee. From that image, specialized computer software builds a three-dimensional (3-D) model of the arthritic knee -- then virtually corrects the deformity to restore the knee's normal anatomy.

A computerized 3-D image of the knee implant is then ShapeMatched® to the anatomically correct model. This helps determine the exact size and placement of the knee implant based on the patient's normal anatomy. Using this information, special OtisKnee cutting guides are created for the surgeon to use during the knee replacement procedure.

Perhaps no one knows better how OtisKnee compares to traditional knee replacement than a patient who has had one of each. Patricia, age 64, had a traditional knee replacement on her right knee in 2004 -- and an OtisKnee Custom Fit Knee Replacement on her left knee two months ago.

"My left knee was full of arthritis -- it was down to bone-on-bone," Patricia recalls. "The past year was horrible. I just couldn't tolerate the pain."

Patricia had OtisKnee Custom Fit Knee Replacement on June 1 and was climbing stairs three days later. "After my traditional knee replacement, they never even got me on the steps until three weeks after surgery," she says. "With OtisKnee, I was on the stairs the day I came home from the hospital."

Just a week after
