New Exactech Knee Research Demonstrates Ability to Achieve Balanced Results with Short Learning Curve Using Newton™ Technology

"The Newton Knee surgical protocol offers surgeons a streamlined approach to achieve soft tissue balance throughout the entire arc of motion regardless of prior experience or training," said James Huddleston, MD, Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery and Division Director, Adult Reconstruction Service at Stanford Healthcare. "Our initial findings demonstrate the utility and reliability of using Newton to plan and execute a patient-specific total knee replacement based on real-time intraoperative data."

Used in more than 1,000 cases, Newton offers dynamic soft tissue analytics, predictive pre-resection operative insight, and full-range personalized planning designed to help simplify, evaluate and execute reproducible balanced total knee replacement surgery.

"Exactech is redefining soft tissue management through technology and innovation, and this new research demonstrates the value and benefit of our advanced approach," said Adam Hayden, Exactech Chief Marketing Officer and Senior Vice President of Large Joints. "Newton opens up a world of opportunities with patient-driven insights that are designed to improve total knee replacement balancing and outcomes."

Newton, along with GPS and many other smart solutions, comprise Active Intelligence^®, Exactech's enabling technology ecosystem that supports orthopaedic surgeons in and out of the operating room. For more information, visit www.NewtonKnee.com.
