Disclaimer
Individual results may vary. There are risks associated with any surgical procedure including NAVIO-enabled Knee Replacement.
NAVIO is not for everyone. Children, pregnant women, patients who have mental or neuromuscular disorders that do not allow control of the knee joint, morbidly obese patients, or any other patients contraindicated for UKR, PFA, or TKA should not undergo a NAVIO procedure.
Consult your physician for details to determine if NAVIO is right for you.
