Do you need a total knee replacement in India ? Learn more about this procedure here.
Total Knee replacement is an operation to permanently relieve pain of arthritis. It is the best best surgical treatment of arthritis. Total knee replacement has a high success rate in my hands. I perform total knee replacement for osteoarthritis, rheumatoid, gout, sero- negative and post traumatic arthritis.
Which knee replacement is ideal for you?
This depends on your age, the degree of involvement of each of the three compartments of your knee, choice of your ortho surgeon and your level of activity. So I use a choice of implants after assessment and discussion.
Knee replacements in Asian patients
Patients in India, middle east and east Asia need to squat on the floor for prayer, meals and activities of daily living. They need a lot of knee bending. This needs special consideration and technique during total knee replacement. A High flexion knee or full bend knee replacement allows bending to 155 degrees. Restoration of full knee function allows squatting, kneeling, climbing stairs. Physiotherapy is an essential component to get full bending.

In this operation I resurface the worn out articulating portions of the joint with metal and plastic components. I use the latest I-Assist smart tool to get the mechanical alignment. I use a minimally invasive approach to reduce post operative pain.
