What is it indicated for?
STELLAR Knee is a stereotaxic system including an intraoperative software as a medical device and surgical instruments. STELLAR Knee is indicated for primary Total Knee Replacement, to assist the surgeon in determining reference alignment axes in relation to anatomical landmarks, in order to position the cutting guide regarding computed mechanical axis. The STELLAR Knee is installed on a Head Mounted Device (HMD) for displaying information to the user intraoperatively. The HMD should not be relied upon solely and should always be used in conjunction with traditional methods.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
