What is Computer - Assisted Knee Replacement Surgery?
Similar to an autopilot which assists the pilots or a GPRS that aids the sailors to reach their destination easily and safely, the computer helps the surgeon to achieve the desired accuracy during knee replacement. Dr. Raj Kanna is one of the very few surgeons in Asia to perform knee replacement using this high-end technology.

What is the Role of Computer?
When a joint replacement surgery is performed, it is crucial that the components of the new joint are properly positioned. Computer helps the surgeon in accurately positioning these components.

Is Proper Positioning of Components Crucial?
While you may not realize it, one of the most critical aspects of a joint replacement surgery is ensuring proper positioning of the components of the new knee. An incorrectly positioned component can lead to early wear and loosening of the replaced joint. Computer guides the surgeon in accurately positioning the new knee, which gives the new knee, better function and long life.

What are the Other Advantages of Computer Assisted Surgery?
1) Much helpful in obese and in Asian patients

2) Less blood loss

3) Quicker recovery

4) Better function

5) Longer life of the new knee.

Painless Surgery
Pain after surgery is no more an issue as we follow the specialized protocol (Multimodal Analgesia) which was published by us in the American journal, “Journal of Arthroplasty” in the year 2010. As a part of the protocol pain controlling medications are started 12 to 24 hours before surgery which prepares the central nervous system well in advance and closes the pain gate, so that the brain does not feel the pain at the time or after the surgery. Secondly, the medications are carefully and rationally combines for maximum action with minimum or no side effects. Finally, the use of cryo (ice) therapy and pain-controlling pumps have revolutionized pain management after such major surgeries.

Quick Recovery
We routinely make the patient walk within 24 hours after surgery and they will be made to claim stairs by the fourth day. Computer technology and advanced multimodal pain management method has helped in quickening the recovery process after surgery and has helped patients to recover after knee replacement effortlessly.

Imported Implants
We use only imported implants that are accepted internationally and are time-tested with a phenomenal track record.
