The Arthrolense Advantage

Existing orthopaedic systems can be complex, disruptive to your workflow and only address certain aspects of the procedure — often replacing, rather than empowering, surgeon expertise in the process.

Arthrolense changes that with a surgeon-designed visual guidance system that is being developed to enable advanced visualization and real-time intraoperative insight across the entire procedure, enabling complete alignment and balancing through proprietary technologies.

We are still in development, so stay tuned for more updates and content on our site.

Our Quest

Arthrolense is on a quest to pioneer the world’s most advanced digital orthopedic surgery platform.
Learn More
Our system is initially intended for use in total knee arthroplasty where its advanced anatomical visualization technology has the potential to provide real-time resection planning and patient specific imaging, without the need for pre- or intra-operative CT scans. It is the first-of-its-kind innovation engineered to provide real-time, actionable insights to the surgeon unique to the anatomy of the patient and mitigate the fundamental underlying causes of patient dissatisfaction – component positioning.
