TruMatch & Visionaire Personalized Knee Replacement

Now there's a customized knee replacement solution designed specifically for your anatomy. It's called TruMatch™ Personalized Solutions.

TruMatch Solutions, only available with Sigma® Knee Replacements, use a three-dimensional computerized scan of your leg to create customized surgical guides that are designed to deliver a personalized solution based on your unique anatomy. DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc. developed TruMatch Solutions to help your surgeon achieve consistency in the placement and positioning of your knee replacement.

Positioning and alignment are crucial to the overall performance of your implant.1,2,3,4 Researchers have found that even a misalignment as slight as three degrees can lead to uneven wear, instability and increased risk of revision surgery following knee replacement.1 That's why precise positioning and placement play such an important role in the success of your implant.

How does the TruMatch Solutions work?

DePuy Orthopaedics uses state-of-the-art software, along with your CT scan, to create a virtual 3-D model that shows the structure of your knee and the progression of your arthritis. DePuy Orthopaedics then works with your surgeon to develop customized instrumentation:

Step 1

A CT scan is taken of your whole leg at your local hospital or image center, per a defined TruMatch Solutions scanning protocol.

Step 2

The image is sent to DePuy Orthopaedics where a special team works with your surgeon to develop a 3-D model of your knee.

Step 3

The structure of your knee is analyzed and your personalized guides are created.

Step 4

Your guides are delivered to your surgeon to help position and place your new knee implant. The guides are removed prior to your new knee being implanted.

VISIONAIRE Patient Matched instruments help your surgeon achieve more optimal implant alignment,custom to your unique knee anatomy.

Your orthopaedic surgeon will scan MRI (Magnetic Resonance Images) and X-Ray images of your affected leg into an advanced web-based software program, which will generate virtual images of your knee. Surgical instruments and guides are then designed and built, mapping out specific bone cuts to accurately align the Journey or Legion implants to your knee.

Because VISIONAIRE technology removes multiple steps from the traditional surgical technique, your time under anesthesia may be reduced. This may lead to less blood loss and a lower risk of infection.
