VISIE Executes First Pin-Free Knee Bone Cuts Using Spatial Computing

Breakthrough Procedure Marks a Milestone in Orthopedic Surgery with Pin-Free Navigation and Augmented Reality-Driven Precision

VISIE Inc. has set a new benchmark in orthopedic innovation by executing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) bone cuts without the use of traditional hardware like pins, clamps, arrays, or manual registration. Powered by its proprietary spatial computing platform, this pin-free approach reimagines surgical navigation by using advanced optical tracking and Continuous Anatomic Auto Tracking (CAAT™) to deliver precise, real-time anatomical data directly to the surgical team. By removing invasive components, VISIE significantly reduces potential complications such as fractures and infections, while simplifying the surgical setup and workflow.

This breakthrough was demonstrated on cadaveric tissue, where VISIE’s platform successfully performed all five standard femoral resections along with the tibial cut. Designed for seamless integration with existing surgical navigation and robotic systems, the platform allows surgeons to maintain full control and precision—without disrupting their procedural flow. Its universal compatibility and non-disruptive implementation make it especially attractive for high-volume orthopedic centers looking to improve outcomes and reduce intraoperative risks without investing in an entirely new infrastructure.

The importance of VISIE’s milestone extends far beyond knee procedures. As surgery becomes more technologically advanced, VISIE’s ability to simplify navigation while enhancing accuracy sets the stage for transformative impact across specialties, including spine and cranial surgeries. With a clear roadmap to clinical application and strong industry validation from accolades like the AAOS OrthoPitch award, VISIE’s pin-free spatial computing platform signals the beginning of a smarter, safer, and more surgeon-centric era in digital surgery.
