Knee Replacement Surgery

The Minimally Invasive Twin Insertion Flex Fixed Knee Animated view for Knee Replacement Surgery

There are millions of people who suffer from osteoarthritis. The restricted movements due to the pain of arthritis have made their everyday life very difficult. In some cases, total knee replacement may be the best option for relief. But many individuals avoid this, fearing further limitations in their daily activities.
A new total knee replacement implant can help put those concerns to rest.


High Flexion Knee

The High flex knee (High Flexion Knee) is a boon for those patients seeking increased function instead of just pain relief. It allows activities like stair climbing, squatting, kneeling, and gardening which are not possible with conventional knee replacements.
High flexion can be achieved with a combination of implant selection, patient selection, surgical technique and dedicated physiotherapy. High flex implants include fixed and mobile bearing (rotating platform) options.


In order to benefit from a high flex knee replacement a few criteria should be met
  • Osteoarthritis is the main indication. If it is rheumatoid arthritis, bony destruction should not be advanced.
  • Revision knees are not suited for high flexion
  • Fused knees cannot be replaced with a high flexion knee.
  • The thigh calf index should be above 90 degrees.
  • The patient should be motivated to achieve deep knee bending and should participate in aggressive post operative physiotherapy.
