What is Knee Replacement?
It is the removal of irregular and worn out joint surfaces and replacing them with new artificial surface (implant)
At the same time it also achieves correction of limb deformity
Only the damaged and irregular surfaces of the joint are removed and new implant made up of high Quality metal (Cobalt – chrome) and plastic (UHMWPE) is implanted. Thus in real sense it is only the surface replacement.

Who needs Knee Replacement?
Patients with
1. Severe knee pain on activities of daily life
2. Stiffness in the knee joint along with deformity
3. No relief from pain killing medicines
4. X-Rays suggestive to advanced arthritis

What are the benefits of Knee Replacement?
1. Resumption of normal daily activities
2. painless movement of replaced knee
3. Pain killer medicines are no longer required
4. overall improvement in the quality of life

is there an age bar?

The knee replacement operations are primarily designed for elderly patients. They can be safely performed in any patients ranging from 35-85 years

Knee replacement operations are being performed all over the world for the last 40 years by conventional method

Limitations of Conventional method of knee replacement
1. Chance of Human error during operation
2. Possibility of poor alignment of joint
3. improper balancing of joint may lead to painful movements
4. the placement of implant may be unsatisfactory during surgery

The world literature clearly shows that if the patient of prosthesis is not within 30 Degree of accuracy, the prosthesis can fail within short duration. Even the most experienced surgeon cannot align the prosthesis within accuracy of 3 degree in more than 60-70% of cases!!
