Gait and Functional Improvement in Total Knee Arthroplasty With the Use of Verasense for Soft Tissue Balancing

Verasense is a single use, disposable device embedded with microelectronics into a standard tibial trial to provide dynamic, intraoperative feedback regarding limb alignment, tibiofemoral position and quantitative pressure at peak contact points in the medial and lateral compartments during total knee replacement surgery. Utilizing sensor-derived data, the surgeon can now evaluate intercompartmental loading throughout the range of motion, and correct for soft-tissue abnormalities while receiving real-time feedback regarding joint balance.

Patients in this cohort will undergo manual total knee replacement without the use of Verasense
