Surgical Technique for Bilateral
Procedure
The user can perform a bilateral procedure using the
same iASSIST Knee Pod Kit without restarting the
application.
1. Once the cut and the validation have been
performed on the first knee (distal femur and
proximal tibia), unclip the pods from the
instruments to preserve battery life.
2. When ready to perform the second knee, press
on the “Side” button located at the bottom of the
system controller computer screen.
3. Choose the opposite patient side by clicking on
the “L” icon for the left knee or the “R” icon for the
right knee.
4. Confirm by clicking the “Save” button.
5. Assemble the instruments and the pods as
described in the “Distal Femoral Resection:
Instrument Assembly” section when performing
the femur first approach or “Proximal Tibial Cut:
Instrument Assembly” section when performing
the tibia first approach.
Proximal Tibial Cut Validation
(cont.)
11. Proceed with the femoral registration if continuing
with the distal femoral cut.
Note:
If the proximal tibial cut needs to be
corrected, it is possible to navigate the
orientation of the cut guide in order to execute
the cut again. To do so:
1. Remove the cut guide pod attached to the
validation tool and clip it to the front receptacle
of the tibial adjustment mechanism.
2. Press the “Z” button on the pod attached to
the front receptacle of the tibial adjustment
mechanism.
3. Follow feedback (red and green LEDs) on
the pod attached to the tibial adjustment
mechanism and adjust flexion/extension and
varus/valgus using the gold and green screws
respectively.
