How to Choose the Right Knee Replacement Implants

Knee Osteoarthritis

• Osteoarthritis of the knee is an infection that
  damages the knee joint. Wear and tear arthritis
  is another name for this condition. The cartilage
  that cushions and lubricates the joints in the
  knee wears away, restricting their ability to
  move and causing excruciating pain and swelling.
  Patients with serious knee arthritis can benefit
  from knee replacement surgery.

Here are a few quick pointers to keep in mind
when considering knee replacement implants

• Point 1

• Point 2

• Point 3

• Inquire about the doctor's track record.

• Recognize the implant's function.

• Describe the surgeon's suggestion.

What factors do you consider when deciding
whether to use a fixed or mobile bearing?

• One of the elements of a three-compartment or
  uni-compartmental sliding knee prosthesis is the
  fixed bearing. Fixed-bearing knee prostheses and
  mobile-bearing knee prostheses are the two types
  of knee prostheses. Mobile inserts have grown in
  popularity in recent years since, in principle,
  they provide some benefits over fixed inserts,
  especially in terms of movement and service life.
  However, no clear evidence of major health
  advances associated with handheld bearings has
  been found to date.

If you can't distinguish between standard and
customised instrumentation, what do you do?

• Standard instrumentation
• In this technique, conventional radiographs are
  used to prepare the surgery, and typical
  resection models are used to cut the femoral and
  fixed bones, which vary only in size depending on
  the patient's age. The surgeon would rely on the
  measurements and estimates obtained from the
  X-rays to properly position the prototype and
  make the required cuts.

• Customized Instrumentation
• Implant manufacturers have created a three
  dimension preoperative preparation scheme in
  recent years. The patient must first have a CT
  scan or an MRI, after which 3D printing is used
  to create personalised resection models. Nylon is
  sometimes used. The benefit of this procedure is
  that it is much more convenient for the surgeon,
  who does the bone cuts using a resection template
  that is ideally suited to the patient's anatomy.
  However, the time it takes for these 3D printed
  cutting models to arrive is lengthy, which may be
  a problem if you need to complete the process
  fast.

Final Thoughts
Finally, keep the following three things in mind
when choosing an implant for your knee
replacement surgery

The specialist would agree that using this
implant for your surgery is necessary.
The implant should have a success record of at
least five or ten years.
The doctor must decide if the implant is
appropriate for the state of your knee.

You should only use high-quality orthopaedic
surgical implant instruments supplied by a
leading orthopedic instrument manufacturer in
India during surgery to get the best outcomes
from your implants.
