Corey Jackson, D.O., first to use new technology in joint replacement surgery

GPS aids joint alignment for improved surgical outcomes

Corey Jackson, D.O., Board-certified Orthopedic Surgeon at the Genesis Orthopedic Center, recently became the first surgeon to use the newest generation of ExactechGPS® hardware and technology. Jackson performed a total knee replacement using the new technology with enhanced responsiveness and connectivity.

“Exactech GPS provides real-time data for optimal patient outcomes,” said Jackson. “The compact screen used during surgery and active trackers enhance efficiency and performance. Our patients undergoing knee replacement procedures will benefit from this new technology.”

Similar to drivers using GPS technology to navigate, using Exactech GPS enables Jackson to align the implant precisely. Patients benefit from an improved overall function of the joint. Other benefits may include longer life of the joint due to wearing down unevenly if not aligned precisely.

Jackson specializes in 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. He performs procedures such as total knee replacement, revisions of total knee replacement, total hip replacement, knee arthroscopy, conversion hemiarthroplasty to full arthroplasty and meniscectomy, loose body removal, injections, total shoulder arthroplasty, hip resurfacing and shoulder arthroscopy.
