JOIN TRUE KNEE

What a True Knee surgeon receives.

True Knee is a defined technique, a standard patients can see, and a practice model built around it. This is what joining gives you and your practice, and what is asked in return.

Seven things, each with its status.

Nothing here is a promise of patients or volume. Listing on the True Knee directory does not depend on offering the optional patient program.

  1. Patients who arrive prepared

    A patient reaches you with their Fit Score, their questions and goals, their imaging and their consent already in one record, carried into your office with their permission. No clipboard, no duplicate intake.

    Built

  2. A Guide your practice runs

    A certified member of your own staff, with a desk, an inbox, a phone line and backup coverage, handling the non-clinical arrangements so your clinical team does not. True Knee trains and certifies the Guide; your practice chooses and supervises them.

    Certification and desk built; the phone line awaits carrier approval

  3. TrueKnee 3D

    A plan of the patient’s knee, built from the X-rays you provide and reviewed by you before surgery.

    Made for each surgery

  4. Your outcomes, collected for you

    KOOS JR at its windows, and the Forgotten Joint Score when licensed, collected from your patients by their record and held in a registry you can examine. A network aggregate is published once the count allows; nothing is published per surgeon without you.

    Collection built; publication waits for the first cohort

  5. A technique with a community behind it

    The curriculum, 448 references, mentorship with the surgeons on the roster, and the travelling fellowship proposed for 2027.

    Live

  6. A standard you can show patients

    Fourteen days to a consultation, thirty days to a surgery date once you confirm readiness, and no clipboard at the visit. Printed on your page, held to by every True Knee surgeon.

    Live

  7. Your own True Knee page

    Your photo, your practice, your commitments, and one button that starts a patient’s record with you already chosen. A card with a code for the office.
