support patients’ understanding of their health care needs.
11.1. Surgeon’s Office Patient Account Setup
11.1.1. Orthopedic Surgeon
Meet with the patient and present the risks and benefits of TKA surgery and the use of the CTE
with CHIRP System. Assess if the patient’s anatomy is appropriate for using the Canary CTE
implant X-Ray Templates.
Ensure the patient has access to a computer with USB connectivity and a home Wireless Internet
connection..
WARNING: The patient needs to have sufficient intramedullary space to accommodate the
increased length of the CTE implant in order to avoid cortical perforation.
When the patient decides on TKA with the CTE and CHIRP System, direct the office staff to
onboard the patient using the Physician Portal.
