Medacta Completes First European Surgeries Using MyPAO

Medacta has successfully completed the first MyPAO surgeries in Europe, leveraging the company’s expertise in CT-based planning and patient-matched solutions for hip preservation procedures.
 
The MyPAO platform is comprised of a CT-based 3D pre-operative planning report, 3D pre-operative and post-operative bone models, cortical screws, and patient-specific realignment guides for helping acetabular fragment realignment during periacetabular osteotomies.
 
“What I value the most about MyPAO is the surgical planning report, which allows me to visualize all the relevant preoperative parameters at a glance. The 3D coverage section of the report, together with 3D printed pre-op and post-op bone models, provides additional support to give a complete overview on how the realignment is going to look like,” Dr. Panayiotis Christofilopoulos, Hôpital de La Tour (Meyrin, Geneva), told the press.
 
MyPAO’s planning report includes relevant pre-operative hip parameters and a proposal for acetabulum realignment. It also generates a simulation of the corresponding post-operative parameters.
 
“The MyPAO patient-specific guides are designed to control acetabulum realignment after I perform the osteotomies using my preferred technique. Unlike conventional P.A.O. procedures, the MyPAO guides allow for a faster and more precise correction, reduce X-ray exposure and replicate the preoperative planning. The guides fit well on the patient’s bones, making the positioning of the system safe and easy to use,” commented Dr. Michel Rahmé, Rhéna Clinique de Strasbourg.
 
MyPAO is part of Medacta’s MySolutions Personalized Ecosystem, a network of digital solutions based on tech engineered to improve patient outcomes, healthcare efficiency, and sustainability.
