What is it indicated for?

The Navio system is intended to assist the surgeon in providing software-defined spatial boundaries for orientation and reference information to anatomical structures during orthopedic procedures.

The Navio system is indicated for use in surgical knee procedures, in which the use of stereotactic surgery may be appropriate, and where reference to rigid anatomical bony structures can be determined. These procedures include unicondylar knee replacement and patellofemoral arthroplasty.

The Navio system is indicated for use with cemented implants only.

Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
