RECENT ADVANCES IN JOINT REPLACEMENT & REPAIR

Varicose Veins

Minimally Invasive Joint Replacement

Smaller incisions can now be made to replace a damaged joint. Knee and hip joint replacement are being done using incisions half the length. Less muscle is cut and this results in less pain, early discharge from hospital, early mobilisation and better recovery of function.

Unicondylar Knee Replacement

This procedure involves replacement of part of the knee joint and allows normal and near normal function. Recovery of function is faster.

Navigation In Total Joint Replacement.

Using the computer to guide the cutting of the bone enables the use of a smaller incision for surgery. With proper use, the surgery will be more accurate

New Implants

Newer implants allow better return of function and in the case of the knee joint, bending of the knee is better. The implants are able to last longer as well.
