Description

From Which Medical Device

Prophecy pre-operative navigation guides from Wright Medical are rapid-manufactured guides based on CT or MRI data for the Advance knee. The unique feature of this system compared with others is that standard metal guides are embedded into the rapid-manufactured guide, so that cuts are made through the metal slot of a standard Odyssey ® guide.  The guides come in pin-only or pin alignment and resection variants, the former being for minimally-invasive exposures.

The distal femoral guide includes two holes for drilling into which the femoral chamfer block is placed.
 
The system is based on restoration of the mechanical axis of the limb and preoperative planning is performed having uploaded the data to an online system from Siemens.
 
A clinical trial comparing Prophecy guides with navigation is not yet open.
