With this technology the patient's knee is digitally recreated withthe MRI / CT scan which are virtually transmitted to the development centreof the technology partner based in the US to create a 3D image mapping of theknee structure. Based on this 3D model the customized template for the kneeis created which is then sent back to the hospital for the final procedure.This technology ensures far greater accuracy and reduces the operation timeby almost 40 % and also results in less loss of bone & tissues.
