Joint Preservation

Articular cartilage is the smooth, white tissue that covers the ends of bones where they come together to form joints. Healthy cartilage in our joints makes it easier to move. It allows the bones to glide over each other with very little friction.

In knee joint, there are two compartments & is covered with cartilage. Usually there is equal load on both knee compartments on weight bearing in healthy knee joint.

In osteoarthritis of knee joint, only one compartment is bearing weight instead of equal load on both the compartment due to varus or valgus deformity. After decades of year’s cartilage in load bearing compartment get damage & gradually cartilage destroys.

In knee restoration surgery, osteotomy of upper tibia & middle part of fibula is done in such a way that load bearing force is diverted on normal unaffected healthy compartment of knee joint. So pain during weight is completely relieved. Moreover destroyed cartilage in affected compartment gradually regenerates over a period of about one year by nature because of unloading of that compartment & increased vascularity in knee joint due to osteotomy. In this way normal healthy knee joint is restored in osteoarthritis knee.

Advantage of knee restoration surgery by modern osteotomy is that after surgery patient can enjoy his/her natural knee with full function. Patient can sit cross- legged, can squat & can enjoy outdoor games also

WHAT IS A KNEE REPLACEMENT SURGERY?

Total knee replacement surgery also called knee arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure to resurface a knee damaged by arthritis. This can help relieve pain and restore function in severely diseased knee joints.

The goal of knee replacement surgery or knee joint replacement surgery is to resurface the parts of the knee joint that have been damaged and to relieve knee pain that cannot be controlled by other treatments.

Your doctor can choose from a variety of knee replacement prostheses and surgical techniques, considering your age, weight, activity level, knee size and shape, and overall health

WHAT THE KNEE SURGERY ENTAILS

The operation usually takes between an hour and an hour and a half and many anaesthetic techniques are possible.

Your surgeon will remove the damaged joint surfaces via a cut on the front of your knee. They will be replaced with an artificial knee joint. This is made from metal, plastic or a combination of the two.

FAQ

Yes, its absolutely possible and is safe but the patient selection is very important. Patient’s age, medical co-morbid conditions like diabetes, hypertension, cardiac conditions are taken into consideration.

Absolutely Yes. We believe that physiotherapy is very essential for fast recovery of patient post surgery. Our patients receive 3 weeks of physio by our team of expert physiotherapist. Any claims otherwise are just marketing gimmicks and nothing else.

We have developed special technique to minimize pain to bare minimum. We inject special medicines during surgery and devised formula that takes care of pain.

We make patients walk on the same evening or next morning of surgery. Patients start stair climbing on 2nd post-operative day and most of our patients on discharge are walking without any walker or brace (external support).

We are using only US FDA approved implants of latest technology which ensures longitivity of atleast 20-25 years.

open wedge High tibial osteotomy

This surgical procedure involves cutting and realigning the upper part of the tibia bone to relieve pressure on the damaged or arthritic area of the knee joint. By creating an open wedge, the joint's alignment is corrected, reducing pain and restoring function while preserving the natural joint.

Close wedge High tibial osteotomy

In this procedure, the upper part of the tibia bone is cut and realigned to correct the alignment of the knee joint. Unlike open wedge osteotomy, a close wedge is created, achieving similar results in joint preservation by redistributing weight and relieving pressure on the damaged area.

Done osteotomy

Dome osteotomy is a surgical technique used to correct deformities or abnormalities in the joint surface by reshaping the bone to restore proper alignment and function. By carefully repositioning the bone, dome osteotomy helps preserve the integrity of the joint and prevent further degeneration.

Arthroscopic microfracture

Arthroscopic microfracture is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat small areas of cartilage damage in the knee joint. Using arthroscopic techniques, tiny holes are made in the bone beneath the damaged cartilage, stimulating the growth of new cartilage tissue and promoting joint preservation.
