With the help of <strong>specialized software<\/strong>, the <strong>exact size of the implants<\/strong> and their <strong>position<\/strong> are then calculated. The <strong>three-dimensional image<\/strong> of your knee joint is used to create a customized template. During the operation, the time for intraoperative planning and placement of the prosthesis is thus saved, which can result in approximately <strong>20 minutes of saved operating time<\/strong> in comparison.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are the advantages of the MyKnee Knee Replacement technique?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Precision<\/strong> and <strong>accuracy<\/strong> in knee replacement placement<\/li>\n<li>Shorter operating time<\/li>\n<li><strong>Immediate weight-bearing<\/strong> of the knee joint after surgery<\/li>\n<li>Faster recovery<\/li>\n<li>Less postoperative pain<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Hospital stay after a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medacta.com\/DE\/myknee-the-medacta-solution\">MyKnee knee replacement<\/a> surgery is 4-7 days, depending on the clinical course.
