Watch Lateef Mohammad of Iraq narrate his account of a knee replacement in India. He received a Journey Oxinium knee. The Journey knee offers more in knee replacements.
Patients seeking a knee replacement in India are asking far more from their knee replacement. After launching this prosthesis, Dr.Venkatachalam consultant Orthopaedic surgeon of the Madras Joint Replacement center says that patients are amazed to see other previous patients do so well.
Lateef Mohammad, an Iraqi mechanical engineer is the latest to ask for this implant. Lateef was very impressed with results in Manal Hassan, a 38 year old banker, the first Iraqi patient operated a year ago. This lady who used to hobble now walks freely and can bend her knees completely and walks with a normal gait. No wonder that Lateef specifically asked for this implant from Dr.Venkatachalam.
The biomechanics of this device are different from other knee implants. Its design closely matches the normal human knee. Its bicruciate stabilizing insert confers extra stability while descending stairs and turning around a curve. "They tend to just glide and bend whereas this one rotates or pivots as it bends," he said.
Dr.Venkatachalam has implanted this in fourteen knees and the results are spectacular.
Lateef can walk without a cane in one week after his operation although his stitches are not even out.
