Case report
Mr. Durai aged 67 years the patient was suffering from osteoarthritis in both knees. He underwent a right total knee replacement about three weeks ago. He underwent partial knee resurfacing with the Orthoglide implant two days ago. You can compare the size of the incisions with the left measuring only 2 inches( 5 cm) vs the right measuring 5 inches. Range of motion on the second post operative day is 95 degrees on the left versus 110 degrees on the right.
Knee resurfacing is another surgical option for patients suffering from osteo-arthritis involving one half of the knee. The other options start with biological knee resurfacing for small cartilage defects, high tibial osteotomy, Orthoglide knee resurfacing, partial knee replacement and total knee replacement.

Orthoglide Knee resurfacing - an alternative to total knee replacement
 |
| Knee resurfacing implant in knee joint |
There is good news for patients suffering from knee arthritis. The Ortho-Glide implant is a device used for patients who have exhausted all other conventional therapies and yet are not ready for a more invasive total knee replacement (TKR). The Ortho-Glide is a metallic medial hemiarthroplasty implant used to reduce pain and discomfort, and to correct angular abnormalities in patients with osteoarthritis of the medial compartment of the knee. The smooth glide path, and fixation by the posterior lip provide a low friction, stable implant that can be implanted by a minimally invasive technique. Dr.A.K.Venkatachalam will be performing this procedure shortly for the first time in Chennai.

Patients seeking a knee replacement at our facility can now avail of a latest technology. We are offering patient specific instrumentation (custom made blocks).

The method consists of undergoing an MRI scan a month ahead of the planned date of the knee replacement procedure. The extra cost will be around a thousand dollars to the total cost.
Indian patients in order to avail this will have to come for a consultation one to one and half months before their planned surgery.
Overseas patients desirous of having this will have to present themselves in India a month before the surgery. Alternatively if the facilities exist, they could have it done in their country. We support the Nexgen high flex knee from Zimmer and the Genesis II knee from Smith & Nephew.
