He tried various pain killing medications but with no improvement. On the contrary, the pain got worsened that drastically reduced his daily activities like morning walk, catching public transport to go to office and going to market to buy items of daily needs.
He used to spend time at home without any physical activity that led him to put on weight as well. Extra kilos on his body further reduced his mobility due to extra pressure on his knee causing severe pain.
Mr. Joseph Asaju decided to consult an experienced orthopedic surgeon for the treatment of his knee to alleviate pain and restore its mobility. His search through internet zeroed at Best Knee Surgeon Dr. Jayant Arora, a highly qualified and skilled orthopedic surgeon.
Dr. Jayant Arora told him that he is suffering from arthritis which has damaged his knee to the extent that required knee joint replacement i.e. Total Knee Arthroplasty. He also briefed him that people lose knee functions due to chronic osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and post-traumatic arthritis.
Divulging details of knee replacement, Dr. Jayant Arora informed Joseph Asaju that in a knee replacement, knee bone and cartilage are replaced with an artificial surface by inserting an implant on bone ends. Knee replacement surgery is done by cutting away damaged bone and cartilage from Femur (Thigh bone), Tibia (Shin bone) and Patella (Kneecap).
These are replaced with an artificial joint made of metal alloys, high-grade plastics and polymers. The artificial parts along with kneecap create a smooth cushion that helps restore smooth functioning of knee joint and elimination of pain.
He mentioned that he always advises his patients to opt for Robot Assisted Joint Replacement Surgery as it is highly accurate and precise procedure that ensures:
•Faster healing and less scarring due to small incision
•Lesser blood loss
•Shorter recovery time
•Diminishes risk of infections
•Reduced post surgery trauma and discomfort
•Reduced duration of hospital stay
In addition, it facilitates patients to resume their normal activities faster.
Robotic joint replacement surgery in India is not only beneficial for patient for surgeons also as the procedure facilitates them to perform knee replacement surgery with better precision and accuracy.
Robotic joint replacement surgery offers to surgeons:
•Enhanced visualization and improved access
•Three-dimensional - 3D magnification facilitates a better view of the surgical site
•Provides surgeon better control over the surgical instruments
•Filtration of naturally occurring hand tremors by the robot's computer software
In order to satisfy the query of Mr. Joseph Asaju, regarding Robot assisted knee replacement, Dr. Jayant Arora explained that Robotic Joint Replacement Surgery in India has integrated the surgical skills of a surgeon with advanced computer technology by virtue of which surgeons can guide the robotic arm equipped with surgical instruments skillfully.
Robotic Knee Replacement Surgery is a type of minimally invasive surgery that requires small incisions through which miniaturized surgical instruments are inserted in the joint.
Mr. Joseph Asaju was operated by Dr. Jayant Arora with perfection and as a result is back to his normal routine and work with no pain or difficulty in walking. He is also assured by Dr. Jayant Arora that Robotic Knee Replacement surgery in India is highly successful and if all goes well the replaced knee can last up to 10 to 15 years.
