Around 2 million patients a year worldwide undergo a total knee replacement, and this is expected to rise to 3.5 million by 2030. However, studies suggest that up to 20 per cent of patients are dissatisfied with their outcome. Eventum believes that the key to improving success rates is a greater focus on the positioning of the kneecap, which plays a significant role in the overall function of the knee.
Developing early prototypes with input from eminent surgeons worldwide, Eventum has developed a unique and innovative device that will be the first to provide real-time measurements of this area during the operation, enabling surgeons to improve their decision making.
