Dr. Corey Jackson, a board certified orthopedic surgeon at the Genesis Orthopedic Center, recently made history as the first surgeon to utilize the newest generation of ExactechGPS hardware and technology during a total knee replacement surgery. During the procedure, Jackson incorporated the enhanced system responsiveness and connectivity of the technology, as well as the proprietary active tracker technology.
The real-time personalized insights provided by ExactechGPS were praised by Jackson for achieving optimal patient outcomes. The compact screen used during surgery and the active trackers contribute to increased efficiency and performance, allowing Jackson to align the implant precisely, similar to how drivers use GPS technology to navigate.
Patients who undergo procedures with ExactechGPS may experience improved overall joint function, leading to potentially longer joint life by preventing uneven wear that can occur when the implant is not aligned correctly. Jackson’s areas of specialty include diagnosing and treating knee and hip arthritis, fractures, post traumatic arthritis, avascular necrosis of knees and hips, painful or failed total or partial knee and hip replacements, dislocations, and shoulder arthritis, among other conditions. His use of cutting-edge technology like ExactechGPS demonstrates his commitment to providing the best possible outcomes for his patients.
