Problem
Diagnosing knee prosthesis loosening traditionally relies on subjective assessments and X-ray imaging, which often fail to detect subtle instability or early-stage degradation. This can lead to delayed or inaccurate diagnoses, resulting in unnecessary revision surgeries and increased patient morbidity.
Solution
The startup offers a non-invasive diagnostic platform that combines a loading device with advanced imaging software to create detailed 3D models of knee prostheses and surrounding bone structures. This technology quantifies the movement and stability of prosthetic components under load, providing objective measurements of knee joint mechanics. By precisely assessing prosthesis fixation and identifying subtle signs of loosening, the platform enables healthcare professionals to accurately diagnose instability, differentiate between various causes of pain, and optimize treatment plans. The solution aims to reduce the number of unnecessary revision surgeries and improve patient outcomes by providing clinicians with comprehensive, data-driven insights into knee prosthesis function.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes orthopedic surgeons, radiologists, and other healthcare professionals involved in the diagnosis and management of patients with knee prostheses.
Features
- Non-invasive loading device that applies controlled forces to the knee joint
- Advanced imaging software that generates high-resolution 3D models of the prosthesis and surrounding bone
- Quantitative analysis of prosthetic component movement, including translation and rotation
- Objective measurements of knee joint stability and fixation strength
