The advances in medical technology have aided in early diagnosis of various medical conditions. One such condition is arthritis, where joints are affected has shown a rise both in terms of the reported incidences and its treatment options. The most common form of arthritis is osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disease that can affect any joint, but in India, it most commonly affects the knee joint. There is pain and swelling associated with deformity of the knee joints. A painful deformed knee can also result in depression and anxiety along with decreased walking distance. In such cases, total knee replacement provides almost complete cure for the patients’ problems.
Dr Harish Gidwani has done his training at Hinduja hospital Mumbai, and Arrow Park Hospital England, he told that total knee replacement is by far one of the most successful procedures in modern day medicine. Both patient and the surgeon are getting excellent outcomes. With the patient becoming educated, smart, active and better informed, the demand of the artificial knee has seen a rise. Patients expect faster recovery and a natural-feeling after operation, as they do not appreciate the feeling of something artificial in their limbs.
To meet these demands, in probably the most ambitious project in the history of orthopaedics, the total knee replacement system was developed and perfected over a period of many years by scientists and engineers, in active consultation with leading orthopaedic surgeons from across the world, using advanced principles of morphology, physiology, kinesiology and material science. Built on the legacy of clinically-proven designs with 25 years of successful results, the latest total Knee replacement is by far the most comprehensive knee replacement system available globally today. It addresses the current unmet clinical needs and gives the patients the most anatomically accurate fit.
Talking about the total knee replacement system Dr. Harish Gidwani a senior joint replacement surgeon working at Apex hospital Jaripatka Nagpur, says, ‘The latest total knee replacement system is designed to provide a tailored implant to nearly each patient, ensuring a smooth fit and natural range of motion, giving a new level of confidence to the patient and surgeon. The implant is now available in Nagpur, bringing latest technology to our people. The latest total knee replacement system helps restore natural movement very early and some time in a week, giving people the chance to do things they always wanted to do. It has been designed on the legacy of knees with more than two decades of successful results and promises to be among the biggest inventions in the history of TKR. The superiority of the system is also reflected in its capability of preserving a patient‘s natural bone to the most and I always prefer removing as minimum bone as possible. I want to see my patients live with minimum discomfort and this latest system and recent training helps me to achieve the same. It is the first choice I give to my patients when they seek a knee replacement surgery .
