Surgical Planning Associates Expands Implant Options for HipInsight System
Surgical Planning Associates (SPA), a leader in medical technology focused on preoperative planning and navigation solutions for joint surgeries, has recently announced an exciting expansion of its HipInsight System. This expansion adds five new orthopedic implant systems to its already robust library of over 35 options. Such enhancements bring a significant increase in flexibility for surgeons operating in the field of total hip arthroplasty, both for primary surgeries and revisions.
The newly incorporated implant systems cater to a variety of specific needs and preferences, including options from well-known brands like Enovis, Maxx Orthopedics, MicroPort Orthopedics, Smith+Nephew, and Zimmer Biomet. This versatility allows surgeons to choose the best-fitting solution for each patient, based on their unique anatomical considerations.
Key Features of the Enhanced System
The HipInsight System prides itself on facilitating personalized 3D preoperative planning, which empowers orthopedic surgeons like Dr. Gregory Klingenstein from Virtua Reconstructive Orthopedics to select implants suited to individual patient anatomies and clinical conditions. Klingenstein emphasizes the importance of this customization, stating, “I use different implants depending on each patient's specific anatomy and needs,” appreciating the open-platform capacity of the HipInsight System.
Furthermore, the recent expansions have also brought in additional support for triple taper stem systems, which enhances surgical options even further. This critical development reinforces SPA's commitment to an implant-agnostic approach, ensuring surgeons can use their preferred implants while still benefiting from state-of-the-art surgical planning technology.
Dr. Micah Adamson from Orthopedic Centers of Colorado adds that “the 3D preoperative planning from HipInsight gives me a better understanding of each patient's unique anatomy, including their pelvic tilt. I have a clear plan going into each case, and the predictive images included in each patient's plan provide an efficient way to verify implant positioning during the operation.” This tailored approach enhances the surgical experience, enabling surgeons to operate with confidence and precision.
Future Presentations at AAHKS 2026
One of the most significant opportunities to see these advancements will occur at the upcoming American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons (AAHKS) 2026 Annual Meeting in Dallas, Texas, where SPA will showcase updates to the HipInsight System, including enhanced Smart Fluoro technology for verification of implant positioning against preoperative plans. According to Dr. Stephen B. Murphy, Founder and CEO of Surgical Planning Associates, “Surgeons shouldn't have to change implants to access advanced planning and navigation.” This reflects SPA's dedication to supporting surgical excellence through versatile and effective technology.
The HipInsight System continues to evolve, cementing its place as a critical tool for orthopedic surgeons focused on joint arthroplasty. The enhancements showcased at AAHKS will further highlight the commitment to precision and patient care inherent in SPA's mission.
For surgeons intent on adapting and excelling in their practice, updates to the HipInsight System underscore a firm step towards improving surgical outcomes and customizing care for patients.
