Ashish, Abu DhabiKnee replacement is a permanent solution when you have exhausted all other measures to obtain pain relief. I offer surgical options including total knee replacement. To get an idea about these, see here. The ideal age for a conventional knee replacement is 65 years. If you are younger, a knee preservation procedure may be an option. See here, here and here. Knee surgery need not be a major concern in the elderly patient too.
When you have finally decided to undergo replacement, I offer a range of implants and techniques. I routinely use high flexion knees which restore full mobility. More.
If you are a woman, the Gender specific knee replacement is shaped perfectly to fit female bone structure. More. If pain is confined to one part only, a partial knee replacement may suffice.

If you have developed arthritis in young age, durable solutions are available. These could extend the new joint’s life to 30 years thus avoiding a revision.
For those with metal allergy, non allergenic implants are available.
Techniques- I use both conventional methods and smart tools. One such tool is patient specific instruments (PSI). I assist, another tool will be introduced shortly. These tools enable the orthopedic surgeon to position the prosthesis accurately.
Minimally invasive surgery (MIS)- I routinely use a minimally invasive approach as it decreases post operative pain and hastens recovery. To determine your eligibility for a MIS knee replacement, please mail. See an example of a minimal invasive incision here.
Patient specific instrumentation (custom fit knee) has several advantages like better alignment, reduced operating time, less bleeding & infection risk.
When your primary or revision procedure has failed, revision knee replacement with trabecular metal cones & augments, hinge and constrained knees are part of the armamentarium.
