1 MEDICAL POLICY PAGE: 1 OF: 5 If the member's subscriber contract excludes coverage for a specific service it is not covered under that contract. In such cases, medical policy criteria are not applied. Medical policies apply to commercial and Medicaid products only when a contract benefit for the specific service exists. Medical policies only apply to Medicare products when a contract benefit exists and where there are no National or Local Medicare coverage decisions for the specific service. POLICY STATEMENT: Based upon our criteria and assessment of the peer-reviewed literature, neither computer assisted hip or knee arthroplasty, improve patient outcomes over existing techniques, and therefore, are considered not medically necessary. POLICY GUIDELINES: I. Computer navigation technology is an adjunct to joint arthroplasty and coverage for the arthroplasty is not affected by the not medically necessary status of computer navigation devices. II. Robotic devices are not addressed in this medical policy. DESCRIPTION: Computer assisted orthopedic surgery describes navigation systems that provide additional information during a procedure to further integrate preoperative planning with intraoperative execution. The goal of using navigation systems in joint arthroplasty is to improve positioning of prosthesis components. Malalignment of prosthetic components contributes to loosening and instability of the joint. Navigation involves three steps: data acquisition, registration, and tracking. Data can be acquired in three different ways; from fluoroscopic, CT/MRI guided, or imageless systems. (Imageless systems rely on information such as centers of rotation of the hip, knee, or ankle, or visual information like anatomical landmarks.) The data is then used for registration and tracking. Registration refers to relating images (e.g., x- rays, CT, MRI or patients 3-D anatomy) to the anatomical position in the surgical field. Tracking refers to the sensors and measurement devices that can provide feedback during surgery regarding the orientation and position of instruments and implants relative to bone anatomy. RATIONALE: The FDA has granted 510(k) status to a number of surgical navigation systems including, but not limited to, Aesculap s Orthopilot Navigation Platform; PiGalileo TM Computer-Assisted Orthopedic Surgery System, (PLUS Orthopedics); OrthoPilot Navigation System, (Braun); Biomet s Signature system; and the Navitrack Navigation System, (ORTHOsoft). The FDA does not require data documenting the intermediate or final health outcomes associated with 510(k) status. Studies have concluded that computer-assisted navigation resulted in more accurate alignments than conventional surgeries for the femur in total knee arthroplasties, improved frontal and sagittal alignment of the femoral component in total knee arthroplasty, and can improve acetabular cup positioning in total hip arthroplasty. However, the studies have also concluded that the technology offers only a small amount of additional benefit to patients, and is often unnecessary when an experienced surgeon performs surgery. There is no evidence that demonstrates that the use of computer-assisted navigation provides an overall health benefit to patients undergoing total knee or hip arthroplasties (e.g., decreased instability, reoperation).
