Our work is dedicated to those who seek excellence in orthopedics. Our portfolio includes computer assisted surgical platforms for orthopedics,...

KiRA is a fundamental support to the clinical investigation of the anterior cruciate ligament. KiRA provides accurate quantitative information for the assessment of the grade of suspected ACL lesion. Pivot shift test is the most specific test for the evaluation of ACL injury and it is the most correlated to the subjective feelings reported by the patient. It is able to provide crucial information about the knee joint laxity both during diagnostic phase and following ACL reconstruction [1,2,3]. Moreover, Pivot-shift signs after surgery are correlated to the development of chondropathy and later...

KiRA ensures: • Quantitative analysis of knee joint kinematics and dynamic laxities • Detection and grade assessment of the suspected ACL lesion • Comparison of the results between pathological and contralateral knee • Monitoring of the functional recovery of the patient during the follow-up and rehabilitation phase • Patient’s history with retrievement and comparison of previous examinations • Export and print of the results Advantages for the professional Fast, Effective, Immediate • Provides an accurate quantitative assessment and immediate visualization of the knee stability • Crucial to...

It has the value of being easy to set up and easy to use in both the clinic and the operating room.” a valid non-invasive instrument able to quantify knee dynamic instability, also for ambulatory assessment” application is the use of KiRA as a teaching tool to instruct young surgeons to perform the PS test in a more standardized way,...
