make cuts in the
bone without much
guidance to insert
the implant.
While the implant
itself has remained
relatively unchanged
for years, Zimmer
Biomet's updated
microplasty instru-
mentation is
designed to make
the procedure more accurate and easier for surgeons. The system now
includes femoral drill
guides to provide a
precise alignment of
the femoral compo-
nent, and size-specific
femoral instrumenta-
tion to allow for more
precise bone removal.
The new technique
also allows for mini-
mal tibial resection
and limited recuts,
helping to preserve the
patient's bone and
potentially improve
outcomes.
