Button Mapping

Tibia

While the NAVIO™ System for Total Knee 

Arthroplasty User’s Manual details each button on 

this screen, the following five buttons (Figure 47) 

are particularly critical to understand. 

- The Checkpoint Verification button is used to 

manually force a check of the safety checkpoints 

in the femur and tibia. The user should utilize this 

button if they think either of the tracker arrays 

shifted during registration or planning.

B

 - Press the Green Dots button to show and hide 

the cloud of discreet green points. It is generally 

helpful to hide the green points in order to view the 

meshed virtual  

surface unobstructed. 

- The tibia implant size changing arrows will size 

up (right) or size down (left) and display between 

the arrows the selected size. This size will map 

to the manufacturer’s provided labeling on the 

component boxes.

D

 - The tibia thickness changing arrows will 

increase the tibia component thickness (right) or 

decrease the thickness (left) displaying between 

the arrows the selected size. 

- Solid Surface & Cross Section buttons allow the 

user to toggle between a 2D and 3D view of the 

virtual implant with respect to the digitized surface. 

- Add Tibia Points is a useful tool to bring the 

user directly backwards through the workflow 

to the tibia free-point collection stage, where 

additional points may  

be mapped.
