Knee Replacement Technology

“Computer-assisted surgery with the DePuy Ci™ System is an exciting total joint replacement technology,” says Frank L. Denoff, MD, a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon with Florida Orthopaedic Associates. Dr. Denoff has performed approximately 80 of these procedures since 2004 and uses the DePuy Ci System for the more complex knee replacements.

“The knee has an inside and an outside compartment,” he explains, “and typically the weight of a person’s body should go through the middle of the knee. If body weight shifts too far inside or outside, it wears poorly over time. It’s like the tread on a tire: if a car is out of alignment, the tread will not wear as well. “The Ci System allows us to align the knee with computer assistance.”

“A month later, I wound up in the hospital for a week with severe pain. When I checked out, I had numbness running down my right arm into my hand. I had herniated the C5/C6 disc, between the C5/C6 vertebrae, and that was putting pressure on a nerve running down my right arm.”
