Knee Joint Replacement
February 26, 2014
Throughout total knee replacement surgery, an artificial prosthesis is surgically implanted to take over the function of the disease knee joint. Indications of knee joint replacement surgery are severe pain with loss of function. Very effective surgery with a reported 90% satisfaction rate lasting about 20 years.
Novel advances:
- Precision surgery using Computer Aided Techniques and Robotic Surgery
- Minimally invasive techniques
- Compartmentalized approach where only the disease surfaces will be replaced
