Jammu Tawi, July 11: Dr Ranjit Singh Senior Consultant Knee Replacement Surgeon from Fortis Escorts Hospital Amritsar said that he has innovated a New Technique for knee Replacement Surgery. With this new technique there is almost zero pain, zero bleeding and zero bed rest after surgery. Patient starts walking around 2 hours after knee replacement surgery and the very next day patient is made to even climb stairs. The time required for surgery is just 15 minutes and patient gets discharged just 3 days after surgery. As there is minimal bone cutting and muscle and tissue dissection with this new Innovative technique, so there is very less blood loss and post operatively there is virtually no pain. Dr Ranjit Singh further added that he infiltrates a unique cocktail of drugs in the knee which gives faster recovery and reduces pain and bleeding to almost zero. The success rate of knee replacement with this technique is more than 99 percent and in 2 weeks time patient is able to achieve near normal life and is able to walk independently without any support and can even sit cross legged. This new technique is in great contrast to the old conventional technique where time required for knee replacement is 1-2 hours and there are lots of problems associated with like pain, bleeding and delayed recovery which has totality eliminated with this new technique. In comparison to the latest technique, patient operated with old technique start walking after 2 -3 days after surgery and it takes few months for patient to return to normal life. The patients having knee pain who require knee replacement but are scared of the surgery due to the associated problems with this surgery like pain .bleeding ,prolonged bed rest and long recovery time, for them this new technique serves as a boon and can be future of this problem.
