INNOVATION: THE KEY TO SUCCESS
Medacta’s core philosophy is based on the belief that innovation is the key to success. This leads to a constant effort towards the
development of cutting edge solutions for Orthopaedics.
MyKnee® is a patient-specific cutting block, allowing the surgeon to realize his pre-operative 3D planning, based on CT or MRI
images of the patient’s knee. This innovative concept combines different features giving potential benefits to both the surgeon and
to the patient.
■ Accurate implant positioning[1-11]
■ No intramedullary canal violation
■ Up to 60% reduction of surgical steps for bone resection and related time
■ Potentially one extra case per surgery session
■ Up to 66% reduction of time and cost in washing, assembling and sterilization procedures
■ Interactive 3D web planning
Designed for you by you!

PATIENT MATCHED CUTTING BLOCKSPATIENT MATCHED TECHNOLOGY
SPECIAL FEATURES OF MYKNEE®:
■ THIS ONE WORKS! Proven accuracy and effectiveness of MyKnee® [1-11]
■ Actual Cutting Blocks, not only pin positioners
■ CT or MRI based
■ Online case management
■ Complete in-house technology ensuring the assistance of a personal MyKnee® technician and only 3 weeks lead time!
MYKNEE® ADVENTURE
1. Medacta® receives the
CT or MRI images of the
patient‘s leg.
2. A virtual positioning of
the implant is proposed to
the surgeon who can modify
the planning as he wishes.
3. Starting from the 3D
reconstruction of the joint
and following the surgeon
preferences, the MyKnee®
preoperative planning is
performed.
4. Once the planning
has been validated by
the surgeon, the in-house
manufacturing process
starts.

HOW TO START WITH MYKNEE®
MYKNEE® EDUCATION PROGRAM
When attempting a new procedure or working with new technology one is always challenged with the associated learning
curve. This can often lead to discouragement and could even prevent perseverance which would prevent one from taking full
advantage of the benefits offered by the new procedure or technology.
To minimize this learning curve and guided by the successful AMIS® Education Program (continuously training hundreds of
surgeons worldwide), the M.O.R.E. Institute has created a comprehensive Education Program which supports the surgeon
step-by-step in the application of the MyKnee® system.
■ 1st step: The Reference Center
Available in several countries worldwide you will have the opportunity to visit a Reference Center and attend live MyKnee®
surgeries.
■ 2nd step: The Learning Center
The MyKnee® Learning Center offers you the opportunity to attend live MyKnee® surgeries, meet experienced surgeons and discuss
the clinical and economical aspects of MyKnee® technology.
■ 3rd step: Support
Upon request you will receive the assistance of an experienced Reference Surgeon to assist with your first surgeries in your
own hospital.
■ 4th step: Continuous Education
You can continue your education through GMK® and MyKnee® user meetings, M.O.R.E. International events, Reference
Center visits and other educational tools.
Just contact Medacta® and we will arrange the Education Program for You!

ACCURATE IMPLANT POSITIONING[1-11] MYKNEE® OFFERS YOU MORE. . .
The MyKnee® cutting blocks are made to accurately match the surgeon‘s preoperative planning,
based on individual patient‘s anatomy and his mechanical axis:
■ Unmistakable positioning: The MyKnee® guides are positioned on the bone referring to
distinct references: the osteophytes.
■ Maximized visibility through the guides during both blocks positioning and resections.
■ Telescopic alignment rod: The guides allow a drop rod to be connected, allowing you
to validate intraoperatively the actual positioning and axial alignment of the blocks.
■ THIS ONE WORKS!
Published articles prove the accuracy and effectiveness of MyKnee® [1-11]
■ ACTUAl CUTTING BlOCKS,
NOT ONlY PIN POSITIONERS
The bone resections are performed directly through
the slots and all the checks can be done intraoperatively
before pinning the cutting blocks.
■ CT OR MRI BASED
Freedom to choose the preferred imaging technology.
■ ONlINE CASE MANAGEMENT
The MyKnee® cases are managed entirely online,
without the need of installing any software.
The cases database is available to the surgeon at any time
from everywhere and, moreover, the information on the website is
always kept up-to-date.

INTERACTIVE 3D WEB PLANNING
DESIGNED BY YOU!
The MyKnee® preoperative planning is based on the surgeon‘s specific preferences and submitted to the surgeon for approval
through an interactive website available at https://myknee.medacta.com.
For every case the surgeon can modify all femur and tibia parameters such as:
■ Femoral distal and anterior-posterior resection levels, femoral rotation, femoral flexion, femoral and tibial varus/valgus,
■ Tibial resection level and tibial slope.
The MyKnee® team is always at surgeon‘s disposal and is pleased to collaborate.
Once approved by the surgeon, Medacta® produces MyKnee® cutting blocks using in house laser sintering technology.
The guides are then shipped to be setup for surgery.
UP TO 66% REDUCTION OF TIME AND COST IN WASHING, ASSEMBLING
AND STERILIZATION PROCEDURES[10,16]
UP TO 60% REDUCTION OF SURGICAL STEPS FOR BONE RESECTION
AND RELATED TIME[13]
Only 3 surgical steps are needed using MyKnee® cutting guides: fit – pin – cut, saving more than 20 steps.
Having a smaller number of surgical steps may reduce the overall surgical time, POTENTIALLY ADDING ONE EXTRA CASE PER SURGERY
SESSION.[8]
Moreover the patient may benefit:
■ Less exposure to the risk of infection[15]
■ Less time under anaesthesia
■ Less tourniquet time
■ Only 2 MyKnee® trays opened vs. 6 or more for a conventional TKR
■ Specific implants ready in the operative room
■ Less set-up time & turnover time
■ Less risk of losing and damaging pieces
■ Fewer cleaning requirements
■ Improved overall operative room logistics and efficiency
