Total Knee Replacement

PERFIT-R
Knee System - Total Knee Replacement

Osteoarthritis is the wear and tear of the bone. When medication and physiotherapy do not help Total Knee Replacement is the best option to get back into our regular life.

SBJH has pioneered Total Knee Replacements in Chennai since 1987. We have successfully performed over 8000 knee replacement surgeries. We have always innovated and improvised, keeping in mind the safety and the convenience of the patients. In 2018, we introduced the FAST TRACK RECOVERY for patients undergoing this surgery. By this technique, patients were walking the same day of the Total knee replacement surgery.

We have now introduced the PERFIT-R system

“Many patients who have had a TKR in the past would say ‘ I can now walk without pain but this is NOT my knee.”

PERFIT-R KNEE SYSTEM is a 3-dimensional [3D] surgical planning using a CT scan image of the entire leg. A thorough analysis of these 3 Dimensional images has improved our understanding and analysis of the deformities caused by arthritis. It is now possible to determine precisely the natural alignment of the knee using these 3D images. Then, patient-specific guides are prepared using this advanced software and a virtual operation is performed on the computer screen. These patient-specific jigs and guides are prepared by advanced 3D printing for the perfect execution of the operation. High precision is ensured during the execution of Total knee replacement (TKR), and accurate placement of the prosthesis in the desired position is now possible. PERFIT-R KNEE SYSTEM has indeed revolutionised Total knee replacement (TKR).
Total Knee Replacement

The advantages of this new technology are the following

  • 3D models of the femur and tibia are created and precise measurements and alignment of the leg is studied in detail and a perfect pre-operative plan to restore the patient to the pre-arthritic level of natural kinetic alignment is planned by using the advanced 3D software.
  • A virtual operation is performed on the computer screen so there are no surprises during the planned surgery . One is prepared for abnormal sizes and also grossly altered anatomy that requires special implants.
  • These disposable patient-specific guides are autoclaved and used during the total knee replacement surgery. This obviates the need for conventional instruments, and the precision of the operation is greatly enhanced. The time taken to perform the Knee replacement surgery is vastly reduced. Only minimal exposure of the knee is required, and hence, it is much more atraumatic.
  • Less post-operative complications like infection as the operation time is greatly reduced.
  • Simultaneous TKR on both knees may be performed much more safely and patients with complex deformities and patients with existing bleeding tendencies will greatly benefit with the use of custom jigs.

Now with PERFIT-R Patients can expect all the previous benefits of total knee replacement with the additional benefit of a personalised fit to enable them to walk, run and play in their own unique style!.

Discover Their Experience in Their Own Words

My mom recently had a knee replacement, and we’re very pleased with how smoothly everything went. The doctors and staff were caring and professional, and her recovery is progressing well. Even my stay as an attender was comfortable and well taken care of. The good part is that, to prepare for the surgery, all the required tests—blood work, CT scan, ECG, cardiology check, and physiotherapy—were done on premise in a single day without any hassle. I was also impressed by the advanced technology used, like creating a 3D model and printing custom surgical guides to ensure accurate placement of the prosthetic. We’re hopeful and excited to see her mobility improve even more in the weeks ahead.

Our doubts were cleared by her from time to time without any frustration. Overall, we had a good experience.

Both doctor’s Dr. Ravisubramaniam & Dr. Sivamurgan were very supportive, transparent & kept us well-informed in this process, answering all our questions and giving us detailed explanation. We are extremely satisfied with the treatment provided by SBJH. The doctors are very professional and they handle every patient uniquely. Our special thanks to Mrs. Anu who was outstanding in handling us post diagnosis until post-surgery. She was very supportive and answers every call and provides great care and support.

My dad had issues with his knee. Hesitant for surgery we had tried multiple other options but to no progress. So, decided to go ahead with surgery, reached out to multiple hospitals. SBJH was also one of them as my relative had got treated for his medical condition. Booking appointment was easy via phone call and got an appointment with Dr.Ramkumar sir. Surgery was suggested with explanation of what will be done. Anu mam explained the procedure on what all will be taking place pre, post and during surgery. All questions were answered promptly by entire team. Pre operative tests were conducted smoothly with guidance provided by Nursing staffs. Surgery was successful and they ensured dad was able to walk with support the very next day. Physio’s gave inputs around the rehab exercises that must be followed. Steps on Staircase climbing was explained. Overall was a good experience. Insurance support, room facilities are good. Scope of Improvement wise I felt patient food might need some small improvement. I would strongly suggest SBJH for this kind of surgery

Relief from Chronic Knee Pain

I had been suffering from severe knee pain for three years due to the aftereffects of Chikungunya. Walking and movement were extremely difficult. Dr. Sivamurugan recommended 20 days of cryotherapy and physiotherapy, and with Dr. Paulraj’s encouragement, I saw remarkable improvement. My knee pain reduced significantly, and I can now walk comfortably. The kindness of the entire hospital staff made my journey even better. I am truly grateful for this treatment and thank God for leading me to this hospital.
