Knee replacements in Asian patients

Patients in India, middle east and east Asia need to squat on the floor for prayer, meals and activities of daily living. They need a lot of knee bending. This needs special consideration and technique during total knee replacement. A High flexion knee or full bend knee replacement allows bending to 155 degrees. Restoration of full knee function allows squatting, kneeling, climbing stairs. Physiotherapy is an essential component to get full bending.
