Dailymirror.news, October 19th,2024: Knee osteoarthritis, a condition that causes pain, swelling, and limited mobility, affects millions of people, particularly as they age. For many, managing the pain with medication or physical therapy offers only temporary relief, and the thought of surgery can seem overwhelming due to concerns about long recovery times. However, advancements in knee replacement technology are changing this.
Dr. KJ Reddy, Senior Consultant Orthopedic Surgeon at Apollo Hospitals, Hyderabad, emphasizes the transformative impact of robotic-assisted knee replacement surgeries. These cutting-edge procedures allow surgeons to use 3D mapping to ensure precise, personalized implants that fit perfectly, minimizing pain and speeding up recovery. 3D printing customizes the implants to each patient’s anatomy, while smart implants with real-time monitoring provide ongoing updates to healthcare providers, ensuring optimal recovery.
These innovations, along with wearable devices and telemedicine support, are reducing recovery times and helping patients regain their mobility faster than ever before. As World Arthritis Day approaches, it’s a reminder for those suffering from knee pain to explore these advanced solutions, reclaim their independence, and live pain-free.
