The first patient is today 87 years old and is in the best of health. With the knee prosthesis implanted with navigation he walks on the beach every day and enjoys his sunset years. Many patients have benefited from an exactly realigned leg and perfectly placed prostheses since the first days. In the meantime, it has been proven also in clinical studies that navigation leads to more precision and durability of the implant. This book, written by Frédéric Picard, one of the pioneers in orthopaedic navigation, gives a complete overview of the various applications of navigation in orthopaedics. It visualizes the evolution that was stimulated by this new technology. From a developer's perspective he describes the feasibility of new ideas, as well as the future. The book summarises a whole decade of continuous progress and benefit for patients and surgeons. Seller Inventory # 004006
