Episurf Knee Implant Surgery

Sai Hospitals has achieved a significant milestone in the field of orthopedic surgery by successfully performing the third Episurf Knee Implant Surgery in India. This advanced minimally invasive procedure offers hope for patients suffering from cartilage damage in the knee joint. With this achievement, Sai Hospitals now makes this cutting-edge treatment accessible to patients across the country, marking a new era in orthopedic care.

Episurf Knee Implant Surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a patient-specific metal implant to repair damaged cartilage in the knee. The implant is designed to fit the exact shape and size of the defect, providing a smooth surface for joint movement and reducing pain.

Benefits of Episurf Knee Implant Surgery:

• Less invasive than traditional open surgery
• Faster recovery time
• Reduced pain and discomfort
• Improved knee function and quality of life

Episurf Knee Implant Surgery is a promising option for patients with focal cartilage defects who are not candidates for total knee replacement.

Here are some additional points to consider:

• Episurf implants are not suitable for all types of cartilage damage.
• The long-term outcomes of Episurf surgery are still being studied.
• It is important to discuss the risks and benefits of Episurf surgery with your doctor before making a decision.

Here's a breakdown of the procedure:

• Diagnosis and Planning:
  • Your doctor will diagnose the extent of cartilage damage using MRI scans.
  • A 3D model of your knee is created to design the custom Episurf implant.
• Surgical Procedure:
  • The surgery is performed arthroscopically, using small incisions and a camera to visualize the joint.
  • The damaged cartilage is removed.
  • The Episurf implant is inserted into the defect and secured in place.
• Recovery:
  • Recovery time varies depending on the extent of damage and individual healing.
  • Physical therapy is crucial to regain strength and range of motion.
