One ​​of the most important developments in the history of Orthopedics is the total replacement of the knee joint with special materials. Today, with the help of electronic technology and surgical expertise, the operation of total knee arthroplasty is changing the page. The new PERSONA ZIMMER BIOMET, USA knee arthroplasty is the result of more than 50 years of thorough study of the anatomy, biomechanics and kinesiology of the knee joint. It is the evolution of previous implants, incorporating the know-how and experience with the help of electronic technology.

The personalized philosophy of implants, with their differentiation in shape and size as well as whether they are applied to a man or a woman, creates ideal conditions for the optimal postoperative result.

During the operation, the specialized Orthopedic Surgeon has in his hands extremely precise ergonomic surgical tools, which he uses to place the materials in their anatomical position. Also, the wide variety of options for PERSONA arthroplasty implants allows the Orthopedic Surgeon to choose the appropriate implant for the patient by recreating the anatomy of their knee.

The new era of PERSONA knee arthroplasty provides the harmonization of materials with the anatomy of each individual who needs knee joint replacement. It is applied to patients suffering from end-stage arthritis such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.

Advantages of PERSONA knee arthroplasty:

• The anatomical design of the implants and their delicate nature leads to less bone removal.
• More porous titanium materials – better osseointegration of the implants – longer lifespan.
• The intermediate material – polyethylene – is enriched with the antioxidant vitamin E, resulting in greater resistance to wear and tear over time.
• Anatomical design for better biomechanical results and normal knee sensation postoperatively.

Advantages for the patient:

• Smaller surgical incision, less tissue trauma during surgery due to special ergonomic tools.
• Shorter surgical time.
• Less blood loss, which minimizes the need for postoperative transfusion.
• Less postoperative pain, and immediate mobilization on the day of surgery.
• Shorter length of stay of the patient in the clinic, (24-48 hours).
• The correct application of PERSONA implants to the patient’s knee offers excellent mobility, faster recovery and a faster return to professional and daily activities.

Modern technology combined with many years of surgical experience and expertise are today managing to open a new era in the concept of replacing diseased joints with the sole aim of approaching perfection.
