Navigation module - Trauma

The Stryker Trauma Navigation System was developed to help surgeons achieve precise implant placement during trauma surgical procedures. Features and benefits include the following:

  • Smart system: Real-time navigation on multiple fluoroscopic views minimizing x-ray exposure intra-operatively
  • Smart instruments: Benefiting procedures such as: screw placement, entry point navigation for IM nails, lag screw positioning, and distal locking for IM nails
  • Real-time Navigation: The Tool Tracker is used to locate the position of the tip and axis of the tracked instrument. The tip and axis are both displayed in real-time on the fluoroscopic images. To assist with implant placement, the tip position and axis diameter can be adjusted to measure and reference the applied instrument/implant.
  • Navigation trauma applications

"Recent years have demonstrated clear patient advantages to stabilization of skeletal injury with percutaneous techniques. Navigation has taken this clinically proven technique and made it easier, safer and more accurate. The ability to work with multiple images simultaneously reduces radiation exposure and is a benefit to all.".
