Which knee is best for you?

When you visit your orthopedic surgeon or read about this surgery, you may be confused in choosing an implant that is best for you. If you are from the Asian sub continent, you will appreciate the flexibility provided by flexible knees. Many western patients also prefer flexible or Hi flex replacement. We routinely use implants that give complete knee bending. More. Mobile / fixed bearing, gender specific, cruciate retaining flexible knees are available.

If you are a woman then the Gender specific knee provides best fit and function. More. For patients with wear confined to only one compartment, a partial knee replacement may be possible. For patients with arthritis confined to the patello femoral joint (knee cap) patello-femoral replacements will suffice. More about partial knee replacements.

If you are younger than 60 years, we offer durable implants and custom fit technology. Oxidized Zirconium knee implants could last for 20-25 years or even thirty years with custom fit surgrey, thus eliminating or reducing the need for a redo /revision. 
Our Knee replacement techniques
