New Delhi [India], October 12: In a medical breakthrough set to revolutionize the field of orthopedics, robotic partial knee replacement surgery has emerged as a beacon of hope for young adults battling debilitating arthritis. This cutting-edge technology is paving the way for improved outcomes, faster recovery, and a return to an active lifestyle.
Arthritis, a condition characterized by joint inflammation, knows no age boundaries. Young adults grappling with the pain and limitations of knee arthritis have historically faced difficult choices, often resorting to total knee replacement surgery, which can lead to compromised mobility. Robotic partial knee replacement (PKR) surgery has emerged as an innovative solution to address this dilemma.
Advanced Solution for Early-Stage Arthritis Patients
At the age of 62, Bhatnagar grappling with persistent knee joint pain, was faced with the daunting prospect of total knee replacement for both knees. Her determined quest for alternatives led her to the Natural Knee Clinic at Criticare Asia Hospital in Mumbai.
Following a comprehensive evaluation and consultations, the adept medical team at the Natural Knee Clinic recommended a breakthrough solution: microplasty surgery, a partial knee replacement procedure renowned for preserving and restoring the patient's knees. With remarkable precision and the utilization of advanced robotic microplasty techniques, Bhatnagar underwent the procedure under the skilled hands of Dr Kartik Shukla and Dr Santosh Shetty. Remarkably, she took her first post-surgery steps on the very same day, aided by a walker, and was discharged just three days later, confidently walking without any assistance.
A Landmark Achievement: Maharashtra's First Bilateral Partial Knee Replacement with Fully Active Automatic Robot and Gold Implant
In a historic feat, Criticare Asia Group of Hospitals in Mumbai, under the adept leadership of Dr Kartik Shukla and Dr Santosh Shetty, achieved a milestone on September 30th by successfully performing Maharashtra's first of its kind robotic half knee resurfacing, also known as partial knee replacement surgery. This accomplishment was made possible through state-of-the-art third-generation robotic arm technology, coupled with a specially coated gold partial knee implant with Vit E poly.
Expertise and Precision: The Cornerstones of Success
While groundbreaking surgeries like this are available in limited centers worldwide, their success hinges greatly on the surgeon's expertise, experience, and the medical infrastructure in place. At the Natural Knee Clinic, the capable hands of Dr Kartik Shukla and Dr Santosh Shetty, both distinguished for their skill and extensive experience, have orchestrated over 5000 triumphant procedures of this caliber.
