Knee Systems - 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.

SB&JH has Pioneered Total Knee Replacements in Chennai since 1987.We have successfully performed over 8000 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 TKR. By this technique patients were walking the same day of the 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 perfect execution of the operation. High precision is ensured during the execution of TKR and accurate placement of the prosthesis in the desired position is now possible

PERFIT-R KNEE SYSTEM has indeed revolutionised TKR.

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.

    Post-operative X-Ray of patient who has had a TKR using the PERFIT-R system showing the natural axis alignment

    • 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 operation. This obviates the need for conventional instruments and the precision of the operation is greatly enhanced. The time taken to perform the operation is vastly reduced. Only minimal exposure of the knee is required and hence 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!.
