If you are unlucky to have developed knee arthritis at a young age, don't worry, we offer most durable implants which will serve you for long and postpone a revision. Young & active patients compelled to seek a knee replacement will benefit from Oxidized zirconium (Oxinium) prostheses. If you suffer from metal allergy, Zirconium or ceramic implants are the solution as they don't contain Nickel.

Minimally invasive surgery (MIS)- We routinely use minimally invasive quads sparing, mid-vastus or subvastus approaches. To determine your eligibility for a full knee replacement  through a MIS procedure, please mail. Patients can now get a knee replacement with custom made instruments. This Visionaire Patient matched instrumentation ( PMI) is linked to the Journey knee. For this you will need an MRI scan and full length x-rays. These are sent to the US lab where custom made cutting blocks are made.  When you travel to India for your knee replacement, you can bring a box containing your own customized Visionaire instruments.

When your primary or revision knee replacement has failed, then we provide revision knee replacement with conventional & total reconstruction revision systems.
