Wyoming’s First Smart Knee Replacement

Dr. Horberg & The Premier Bone & Joint Centers are now offering Persona IQ®, the World’s First and Only Smart Knee Implant for Total Knee Replacement Surgery!

Dr. Horberg performed the first “Smart Knee replacement” in the state of Wyoming on 3/9/23 at the Premier Bone & Joint Centers in Laramie, WY. Persona IQ®, the world’s first and only smart knee implant granted De Novo status by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for total knee replacement surgery. Persona IQ combines the proven1 and trusted knee implant, Persona® The Personalized Knee®, with implantable sensor technology that measures range of motion, step count, walking speed, and other gait metrics.

“We’re excited to offer Persona IQ, the world’s first smart knee implant, to our patients right here in Wyoming. This new technology will provide surgeons access to objective kinematic data directly from the implant after surgery. This allows us to monitor the health and function of the joint replacement remotely. This is a game changer for our patients from across the state facing difficult travel, especially in the winter. Nothing is more important to all of us at the Premier Bone & Joint Centers than ensuring our patients have the best possible outcomes.”

Persona IQ features implantable sensor technology that records and wirelessly transmits a wide range of gait data from the knee implant to a patient’s personal base station at home. The data is then securely delivered to a HIPAA-compliant cloud-based platform and can be accessed by the patient and their surgeon. Persona IQ will work together with mymobility®, a remote care management platform that tracks pre- and post-operative mobility metrics.
