The OI Platform Designed to Work Together See how OI implants, specialized instrumentation, and the lateral approach come together to support each stage of total knee replacement. Become an OI SurgeonRequest a Demo Bringing Implants, Instrumentation & Surgeon Training Together The OI Total Knee System A versatile implant platform with cemented, cementless, cruciate-retaining, and posterior-stabilized options designed to support a range of total knee replacement needs. Specialized Instrumentation Specialized instrumentation developed around lateral access, giving surgeons tools designed specifically for the approach rather than adapting instruments created for a traditional pathway. Surgeon Training & Support A hands-on training pathway that gives surgeons opportunities to observe the technique, participate in cadaveric training, learn from experienced peers, and receive support as they bring the approach into their own OR. Our Products Total Knee Systems Designed for Surgical Flexibility The OI Total Knee System replaces the damaged articulating surfaces of the knee with femoral, tibial, and polyethylene components designed to function together. The platform offers surgeons cemented and cementless fixation options, along with cruciate-retaining and posterior-stabilized configurations, providing flexibility to address diverse surgical needs within a single system. All Products Surgical Instrumentation Four dedicated instrumentation trays support the total knee arthroplasty workflow, covering femoral and patellar preparation, tibial preparation, femoral trialing, and tibial trialing. The instrumentation also includes lateral-specific tools such as MCL retractors, along with preparation, alignment, balancing, and trialing instruments designed to support each stage of the procedure. View Instructions for Use The Lateral Technique The lateral technique follows a structured surgical sequence designed around access from the outside of the knee while preserving the quadriceps. From incision and exposure through bone preparation, trialing, balancing, and final implantation, each stage works together to support precise component placement and a consistent total knee replacement workflow. Lateral Incision Access begins along the lateral side of the knee. Quadriceps Preserved The quadriceps are lifted rather than cut. Patella Managed for Access The patella is carefully managed to provide the exposure needed for the procedure. Bone Prepared Femoral and tibial surfaces are prepared for the implants. Components Trialed Trial components help evaluate fit, alignment, and balance. Implants Placed Final components are positioned to reconstruct the knee joint. Full Surgical Technique Outpatient Advantages How the OI System Supports ASC Efficiency Efficient Procedures A streamlined surgical workflow can help support efficient use of valuable OR time. Streamlined Instrumentation Four dedicated trays organize preparation and trialing across the total knee procedure. Lower Sterilization Burden A focused instrumentation setup can help reduce reprocessing demands between surgical cases. Faster Room Turnover A more streamlined workflow and instrument setup can help support efficient case turnover.

Become an OI Surgeon Hear From Surgeons Using the Lateral Approach These physicians share what they’ve learned using the lateral approach, what has stood out in their patients’ recoveries, and why the technique has become part of their practice. Surgeon Testimonials Dr. Pasquale Reino Over 95% of my patients who had a traditional surgery and then came to me for the lateral approach say the recovery was much faster in terms of motion, easier in terms of pain, and required less narcotic medication. Dr. David Cheong The quadriceps muscle is not cut. If a muscle isn’t cut, then it doesn’t take the same amount of time to recover and wake up. If a muscle isn’t cut, then typically there is less pain associated with that surgery. Dr. Sergio Martinez I’ve had patients where we did the standard approach on one knee, and we did the second knee with the lateral approach. They all tell me that the lateral approach was a much better recovery.
