TWIS-TKR: A Personalised Approach to Knee Replacement

This advanced system adapts to the unique anatomy and biomechanics of each individual's knee, ensuring an implant that functions naturally and efficiently.


Discover how TWIS-TKR can transform your knee surgery experience. 


The Importance of Custom Rotational Alignment in TWIS-TKR

Custom rotational alignment is the cornerstone of the TWIS-TKR approach. Unlike traditional knee replacements, TWIS-TKR assesses each patient's specific knee mechanics to ensure the implant aligns perfectly with their natural knee movement. This precision offers several benefits:

  • Enhanced Knee Function: Aligning the implant with your natural knee mechanics for improved comfort and mobility.
  • Reduced Wear and Tear: Precise alignment leads to less stress on the implant, extending its longevity.
  • Faster and Smoother Recovery: A knee replacement that mimics your natural knee can result in a quicker return to daily activities.
