How is a custom knee replacement different from a standard knee replacement?

A standard knee replacement uses implants in common, pre-manufactured sizes, while a custom approach uses imaging of your specific knee to plan implant sizing and positioning tailored to your unique anatomy. Some potential benefits of a more personalized approach include:

• A closer match to your natural knee alignment and movement
• Potentially more precise implant fit
• A surgical plan built around your specific joint, rather than an average patient

Not everyone is a candidate for the same approach, and Dr. Newfield can help determine which option makes the most sense based on your anatomy and condition during a consultation.
