MIOS Minimally Invasive Orthopaedic Solutions

Minimally invasive surgery with precision

Description

Early results of minimally invasive total knee arthroplasty shows that the procedure is less painful and recovery time is shorter. However, the challenge is to maintain the required standard precision with limited exposure. Therefore it is necessary to ensure that the requirement accuracy is maintained despite limited surgical exposure.

Aesculap offers computer-based technologies that achieve better functional results, especially with minimally invasive approaches in terms of total knee arthroplasty.

In collaboration with experienced orthopaedic surgeons, the so-called MIOS® technology has been developed – minimally invasive and computer assisted surgery.

By integrating the best aspects of both techniques, we improve the process of care associated with total knee arthroplasty.

Advantages

• Decreased blood loss and need for transfusion from reduced soft tissue trauma and the elimination of the intramedullary instrumentation
• Accurate and reliable limb and implant alignment from using Orthopilot Navigation System
• Rapid wound healing
• Fast restoration of function
• Reduced post-operative pain
• Reduced hospital stay
• Improved cosmetics

Indication

MIOS® can be used for primary TKA with Columbus® or e.motion® knee prostheses. Computer-assisted surgical techniques provide for necessary accuracy.

MIOS® Instruments Features

• Minimal shapes and dimensions to help avoid conflict with the limited exposure
• Specially designed cutting slots that facilitate accurate bone resections
• Profiles that provide excellent instruments-to-bone conformity
• Rounded edges to minimize tissue trauma
• Enhanced visualization by the OrthoPilot® Navigation System to avoid the potential error of alignment
