New Delhi : With a steady increase in the number of Indians undergoing joint replacements, new techniques from around the world to cause minimal invasion and inconvenience have come to their rescue, a medical expert said here on Saturday.
According to Rajesh Malhotra, professor in the orthopaedic department at AIIMS, five major new techniques – Persona knee, Attune knee, CR 150 knee, 30 year (verilast) knee and partial knee replacement – will provide relief to thousands of patients who undergo joint replacement surgeries. “Unlike earlier joint replacements, the new technologies will help orthopaedic surgeons perform surgeries in a much more accurate way. These technologies will help in better mobility of patients after joint replacements and also give relief from pain to a great extent,” Malhotra told IANS.
More than one lakh knee replacements and almost an equal number of hip replacement procedures are performed in India. Knowledge and techniques about arthoplasty need to be updated in India.
