Total Knee Replacement, partial knee replacement MJRC India

Minimally invasive replacement

Micro Knee surgery
Although Knee replacements provide excellent pain relief in the long run, many patients were hitherto disturbed by the early post operative pain. Post op pain results from large incisions and tissue damage. This results in more requirement for medication, and slower recovery.   

Small incision surgery- a boon for Indian patients
Small incision or micro surgery or minimally invasive surgery is attractive to patients contemplating joint surgery in India. The incision is only half the size of the normal 12- 14 inch long used previously.

Advantages
Small scars, less blood loss, less surgical trauma, less post operative pain, lesser medication, faster recovery, shorter hospital stays are much acclaimed benefits. Please see scar size of UK patient who underwent minimally invasive surgery in Chennai in News page. In this case the incisions were only 3 inches long and the patient was discharged from hospital in 48 hrs after bilateral uni condylar knee replacements. For total knee replacements, stay would be about 4- 5 days only.
