Moving forward
in partial knee

CONCEPT

MOTO Medial offers uncompromised anatomical fit and compartment-specific coverage that accommodates the broadest range of patient anatomies. It features a patient specific gap balance and alignment technique with minimized and precise bone resections, without ligament releases. The implant design and instrumentation work together so that intraoperative decision making and flexibility are optimized for each patient.

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

Fixed-bearing, round-on-flat design in partial knee replacement has shown the potential to provide excellent mid-term and long-term results, as reported in clinical studies and registry data [1-5], however there is still potential for improvement in terms of anatomic fit, size range, intraoperative feel and technique. MOTO Medial Partial Knee follows this proven philosophy but improves upon implant and instrument design, as well as flexibility of the system, taking the potential of partial knee arthroplasty to the next level.

 

MOTO MEDIAL WAS DESIGNED WITH CLEAR GOALS

  • accommodate individual anatomy to achieve optimal coverage and fit.
  • provide correct and individualized balance and alignment at every step of the procedure with the potential to decrease the incidence of loosening and progression of disease - main reasons for revision of unicompartmental knee replacement [6-10].

SPECIAL FEATURES

ENHANCED IMPLANT DESIGN

Extensive anthropometric research on a unique, global database containing more than 45,000 CT and MRI scans of knees [11] was used to validate the MOTO Medial implant design:

  • ANATOMIC AND COMPARTMENT-SPECIFIC SHAPE
    Replicate the morphology of native medial femur and tibia for an optimal shape matching and coverage.
  • IMPROVED AND OPTIMIZED RANGE OF SIZE OPTIONS
    10 femoral and 8 tibial sizes with fine increments that best fit the full spectrum of anatomic profiles.
    Range of inserts with 1mm increments (8, 9,10, 11,12, 14 mm).

“The incredibly accurate implant sizing allows for full cortical rim contact on the tibial component to prevent subsidence. The femoral component has an extended posterior condyle to allow patients deep flexion MOTO without posterior impingement.”[12]
Mandume Kerina, MD

UNPARALLELED OPERATIVE FLEXIBILITY

The MOTO “Balanced & Aligned Resection Philosophy” enables independent balancing of the flexion and extension gaps in 1mm increments.

  • Multiple gap-balance options: instruments designed to allow millimetric bone resections, tailored to patient anatomy and soft tissue balance, avoiding ligament releases.
  • Ability to fine tune gaps, implant size and position at any point in the procedure:
    • same femoral pegs position and optimized internal profile across sizes, facilitating intraoperative size change
    • adjustable M/L position of femoral component anytime until pegs are drilled, after trial reduction

“The ability to make resections to the millimeter with independent flexion and extension balancing is the greatest feature of the MOTO. I never have to worry about overcorrecting a knee. This allows me to obtain the perfect alignment and a well-balanced knee. It is efficient, and addresses any issues I might encounter, even in the ACL-deficient or reconstructed patients.”[12] – Akbar Nawab, MD.
“I have never burned any bridges with this technique as  I can revise any step through the surgery. If I want to go back and fine tune one of my first steps I can do that as easily as I can. I can even change the femoral component up or down a size after the lug holes have been drilled. It is the most flexible system I have ever used.”[12] – Ryan Molli, DO

COMPREHENSIVE SURGEON EDUCATION

MOTO medial offers you MORE to deliver the best outcomes to your patients.

  • A dedicated and unique Education Program created around the MOTO Medial Partial Knee provides top level medical education and continuous support to healthcare professionals.
  • Expert and passionate surgeons share their experience on how to leverage MOTO’s unique design features, along with the instruments and surgical technique, to treat each individual’s anatomy.
  • Educational courses with live surgeries, cadaveric hands-on sessions and direct interaction with Partial Knee Mentors to explore philosophy, indications and advantages of this procedure.
  • Educational path tailored to every surgeon’s needs, with continuous support and proctoring assistance.

“Medacta’s commitment to surgeon education is a key component to the success of MOTO. Surgeons benefit from one-on-one instruction and proctoring as well as visiting design surgeons and attending learning centers for didactics and cadaver lab training.”[12] – Anthony Robins, MD

M.O.R.E. EDUCATION PROGRAM: MOTO MEDIAL

COMMITMENT TO OUTPATIENT PROCEDURE

MOTO Medial has been designed with ambulatory surgery centers in mind:

  • No need for expensive robotic technologies to achieve correct sizing, positioning, and balance.
  • An efficient procedure based on streamlined workflow and easy-to-use instruments.
  • Minimized instrumentation footprint.

Maximized efficiency for same day surgeries!
