It is accomplished by performing an MRI scan of the afflicted knee joint, which allows us to see the joint in its purest anatomical form and build a customized surgical plan and size for each individual. Predetermined implant sizing avoids the need for many instruments and trials while preserving the surgeon's decision to perform the surgical method and maintaining intraoperative flexibility.
