Proven alignment methodology

Unlike other cutting blocks that use alternate methods of alignment, VISIONAIRE^◊ blocks are aligned to the mechanical axis of the knee, the gold standard. Without this orientation to the mechanical axis, components may not achieve optimal performance.

Research shows that malalignment can lead to early failures

Varus tibial alignment can result when the mechanical axis is not used for alignment, possibly leading to early implant failure

A tibial component with more than 3.0° of varus had increased odds of failure.
Components placed in varus alignment have a higher rate of loosening and revision when compared with components placed in neutral alignment.
With VISIONAIRE^◊ Patient Matched Instrumentation, surgeons can be reassured that they are implanting components in accordance with the proven standards of total knee arthroplasty.
