What is Uni-Compartmental Knee Arthroplasty (UKA) and what prosthesis are used in this procedure? Please quote the cost of minimally invasive partial Knee Joint replacement surgery or unicompartmental Knee arthroplasty facilitated by Life Smile health care for the treatment of osteo-arthritis problem of the Knee Joint?

Uni-compartmental knee replacement is similar to total knee arthroplasty or replacement knee surgery other than only one of the three sections of the knee is replaced. The knee can be divided into the medial and lateral tibio-femoral joints and the patella-femoral joint. Uni-compartmental knee replacement is usually and most commonly used for the medial aspect of the tibio-femoral part of the knee. The femoral replacement is a smooth metal component which fits snugly over the end of the bone. The tibial replacement is in two parts, a metal base plate sitting on the bone and a plastic insert which sits between the metal base on the tibial and the femoral component. In patello-femoral replacement the patella surface (under the knee cap) is replaced with a plastic button which glides over the metal surface of the femoral replacement for the anterior surface of the femur.

The cost of partial Knee replacement surgery which is also called unicompartmental Knee replacement and minimally invasive access Knee surgery varies according to the individual condition of the individual patient since it removes only the most damaged areas of the cartilage and replaces these surfaces and the MIS- minimally invasive surgery or minimal access surgery procedure for Knee Replacement has a faster recovery time.

I wanted to find some online web information on the recovery time after the knee surgery and the total stay required at the hospital and in India for the Single Knee arthroplasty surgery and double Knee Joint arthroplasty surgery procedure? What is the recovery time? How will I know if I am a good eligible candidate for total knee replacement surgery? What are the benefits- advantages, disadvantages, risks, complications and side effects of the knee replacement surgery? What is the time required for recovery, recuperation and back to work after the surgery?

Visiting India for Unilateral Knee Joint arthroplasty Surgery would require a total stay of 15 days including 06 days of post-surgery in-patient stay at the hospital. For Bilateral Knee Joint Replacement surgery the minimum total stay in India would be for 22 days including 09 days of pre-surgery and post-procedure inpatient stay at the hospital. Your orthopedic knee replacement surgeon would decide about your being an ideal candidate for the surgery, Life Smile advises you to discuss all the aspects of your surgery with your knee replacement expert doctor.

Recovery time: Most knee replacement patients are around 80% recovered by six weeks after the surgery. They will continue to improve more gradually over the next three to six months. Recovery for knee arthroplasty individuals varies from person to person depending on recovery period exercises and the level of pain and activity before their surgery.

What types of implants / prosthesis are used for the minimally invasive access surgery- MIS partial- unicompartmental knee replacement procedure and total Knee Replacement surgery and is there any cost difference due to the various types and makes- brands of the prosthesis used? Is there some gender specific alternative prosthesis for Knee Replacement surgery in women, different from the one used for men?

In knee replacement surgery, the damaged knee bone and cartilage are replaced with metal and plastic surfaces that are shaped to restore knee movement and function. The new artificial knee is called prosthesis. The prosthesis is generally composed of two metal pieces fitted onto the ends of the tibia (shin bone) and the femur (thigh bone) and a plastic piece inserted between them to act as a bearing. Stainless steel, cobalt or chrome alloys or titanium may be used for these components. Durable, wear resistant polyethylene (plastic) is used for the bearing. Plastic bone cement may be used to anchor the prosthesis into the bone. Some joint replacements also can be implanted without cement when the prosthesis is designed to fit and lock onto the bone directly.

The brands of prosthesis commonly used are Oxford Unicompartmental Knee System, Uni Knee and NexGen Complete Knee System by Zimmer, Triathlon Knee System by Stryker, High-Flex Rotating Platform knee by DePuy and The Gender Solutions High-Flex Knee, made by Zimmer. The Knee replacement cost may vary when using the different brands of the prosthesis.

The first knee replacement shaped to fit a woman's anatomy has received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The Gender Solutions High-Flex Knee, made by Zimmer, Inc, is a design based on three distinct and scientifically documented shape differences between a woman's and a man’s knees. The differences involve the bones, ligaments and tendons in the joints. The implant addresses the shape-related differences typical of a woman's knee: a narrower shape; thinner shape, and the need for more natural motion for the knee when walking. Nearly two-thirds of the global knee replacement patients are women.

TESTIMONIALS

D M, Cairo, Egypt
I wish to reflect on my visit to India for the knee surgery.

I would like to register my profound appreciation for the professional manner in which Life Smile conducted my diagnosis, right from the moment I had made contact with Life Smile, to the reception on my arrival and lastly the efficient Hospital admission for the treatment. At no time did I feel my time wasted and the whole process went like clockwork!

R G, Texas, USA
I was suffering from Arthritis and was advised for the bilateral knee replacement surgery by my doctor in USA. I am medically uninsured and while searching the web for the surgeons and hospitals providing affordable surgery, I came to know about the concept of low-cost overseas medical healthcare treatment abroad with medical tourism. It was then that I came in contact with Life Smile facilitating affordable world-class medical treatments offshore in India.
