Introducing STELLAR Knee: Revolutionizing Total Joint Arthroplasty with Mixed-Reality Technology

STELLAR Knee, a groundbreaking mixed-reality surgical guidance system, is revolutionizing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) procedures. Developed by PolarisAR, this innovative technology provides surgeons with real-time guidance and precision, enhancing surgical decision-making and simplifying operating room workflows.

The first successful TKA using the STELLAR Knee system was recently performed at New York-Presbyterian/Columbia University Irving Medical Center in New York. This milestone marks a significant advancement in orthopedic surgery, as STELLAR Knee offers a new level of control over intraoperative variables compared to traditional techniques and navigation systems.

CEO of PolarisAR, Paul Mikus, describes STELLAR Knee as a “paradigm shift in the OR,” providing surgeons with robot-like precision and seamless integration into existing surgical workflows. The system’s FDA clearance in November 2023 further solidifies its position as a game-changing technology in the field of orthopedic surgery.

One of the key advantages of STELLAR Knee is its agnostic approach to implants and imageless design, making it more accessible and customizable for surgeons. By democratizing enabling technologies, PolarisAR aims to improve patient outcomes and optimize intraoperative workflows.

As STELLAR Knee continues its commercial launch at leading institutions across the U.S., the future of total joint arthroplasty looks brighter than ever. To learn more about PolarisAR and their innovative mixed-reality surgical guidance system, visit their website at https://www.thinkpolaris.com.
