What is the issue?

Kico Knee Innovation Company provides orthopaedic surgeons with state of the art dynamic, functional and patient specific planning and simulation solutions. The technology is currently focused for application on total hip and knee arthroplasty.

What does the technology aim to do?

Using engineering techniques derived from aerospace and automotive industries, our software provides dynamic information about an individual’s joint performance in more depth than ever before.

Over 2,000 patients have already been analysed. In August a new milestone was achieved with 100 cases being simulated prior to surgery. Substantial clinical interest has developed around the world. In Australia, significant commercial progress has been made with our hip partner Corin and our knee partner Global Orthopaedic technology.
