Patients are regularly in considerable pain from the knee and adjacent tendons and muscle for weeks or months. That’s been the condition for most people of the 250,000 or so Indian who get a new knee joint surgically em placed every year, according to Dr. Ashok Rajgopal top minimally invasive knee surgeon Medanta.

However Dr. Ashok Rajgopal is in the leading edge of what he believe is a better manner to do knee surgery. The new approach has two awesome functions: a minimally invasive surgical approach that involves a shorter incision (about four inches as opposed to eight to ten) that doesn't cut through the quadriceps tendon. He also makes use of computer-guided device to ensure a specific alignment of the knee and the leg bones.

The minimally invasive approach accesses the knee from the aspect in place of the top and does not invert the patella (kneecap) during in surgical operation. The approach has been for two to a few years at various facilities around country. Dr. Ashok Rajgopal is among the surgeons who have used the method in India. Top minimally invasive knee surgeon Medanta have also used the computer steering system coupled with conventional knee surgical procedure, for about a year. With system, optical arrays are located on both the tibia and fibula and the surgical system. A system optical arrays well-known shows if there's the slightest misalignment between the new knee and the leg bones. However the minimally invasive and computer-assisted alignment techniques had never been blended in one process – until last month.

In mid-march, three patients have become the first in the India to get a new knee in a technique wedding the minimally invasive approach and the computer steering era. We’re leading edge. We want to ensure (the combined approach) is better,” Dr. Ashok Rajgopal stated before the first surgeries had been accomplished.

“We’re getting total knee replacement without sacrificing alignment,” Dr. Ashok Rajgopal said after the surgeries had been completed. “It’s the best of both worlds.”

Top minimally invasive knee surgeon Medanta said he’s thrilled with the outcome to date for his first two patients. “Both ere back home in 3 days. Both had been taking walks within 12 hours of surgical operation and both seem extra comfortable,” he said. “I couldn’t be more excited about how great they (the surgical procedures) have gone.”
