The High flex knee is a boon to patients seeking increased function after a TKR. It allows activities which require deep knee bend like stair climbing, squatting, kneeling, gardening which are not possible with conventional knee replacements. Muslims can kneel for Namaz (prayer).
High flexion is achieved through a combination of prosthetic design, patient selection, surgery technique and physiotherapy.  High flex implants include fixed and mobile bearing (rotating platform) options. To get a no obligation quote for a flexible knee, please fill the Contact us form
