01 • Anatomical Emergence
Engineering the Native Joint Envelope.
Every hip and knee reconstruction begins long before the operating room. By coupling WashU mechanical engineering discipline with patient-specific 3D kinematics, Dr. Lawrie maps the exact center of rotation and soft-tissue tension unique to each individual.

02 • Direct Anterior Discipline
Sub-Millimeter Alignment. Natural Tissue Preservation.
Working through a true inter-muscular and inter-nervous interval avoids detaching muscles or tendons from bone. Real-time intraoperative verification confirms acetabular inclination, anteversion, and leg length for immediate physiologic stability.
