Knee Replacement Surgery
Knee replacement surgery has truly achieved its full potential in recent times. All patient reservations or expectations regarding this rewarding surgery has been addressed in the recent past. This surgery gives consistent results when accurately performed, giving patients truly a new level of activity and complete pain relief. The significant recent advance has been in the following.
1. High Flex knee this has become standard practice in Asian patients for whom sitting on the floor is an integral part of their culture.
2. Oxinium knee replacement This landmark breakthrough in bearing technology has come after 40 years of using the traditional metal-poly bearing. This new bearing has the potential to last much longer than conventional TKR. This has its application in young active patients requiring knee replacement.
3. Bi-cruciate knee Functional restoration is best possible with the bi-cruciate system and can be combined with the oxynium technology.
4. Mobile Bearing Knee Variation of the TKR which allows the polyethylene disc to rotate and thereby reduce wear. The LCS mobile bearing knee has the best long term result of TKR and is the mobile bearing knee used at JRGC.
