BILLERICA, Mass., June 25, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Conformis Inc. (NASDAQ:CFMS), a medical technology company that uses its proprietary iFit Image-to-Implant technology platform to develop, manufacture and sell patient specific joint replacement implants designed to fit each patient's unique anatomy, today announced publication of a study showing that patients treated with the iTotal CR Knee Replacement Systems achieved better tibial fit and tibial rotational alignment compared to patients treated with three different off-the-shelf (OTS) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) products.

Summary: Endoprosthetic joint replacement of the knee joint has become one of the most common and successful operations for patients with advanced tricompartmental knee osteoarthritis. However, many studies on the clinical outcome after knee joint arthroplasty show that patient satisfaction is lower than originally thought and that up to one-fifth of patients are not completely satisfied with the postoperative outcome.

Conformis is dedicated to advancing understanding of our products and their benefits to patients, surgeons, and hospitals through knee replacement clinical studies.
