Custom Total Knee Replacement [TKR] – VISIONAIRE [Smith-nephew]
Custom fit Total Knee Arthroplasty- Done for the first time in North India.At Orthonova Hospital Jalandhar,by Dr harprit Singh. The patient needs to have an MRI of the knee at a recommended centre,which is mailed to Memphis [Smith-Nephew centre],where templates are made and sent to the hospital.These templates are for that patient only and his/her name is engraved on it. This makes the surgery lots easier,precise. since marrow is not opened,bleeding is less and recovery is faster. Navigation is put to rest. This is the most Advanced Joint Replacement technique. TILL DATE NO ONE ELSE IN NORTH INDIA HAS even tried THIS.

The FDA just issued a new regulation giving a 90 day expiration date for the Visionaire blocks. The sterilization is good for 10 years but the patient’s anatomy can change sufficiently in 90 days to require new blocks be made.
@adiegk1 gud luk
Very informative. I’m having it done in July so it was good to see what will happen. Can’t wait for more mobility. I’m 32 and a professional soccer coach so the sooner the better.
good job…was lucky to see it being done live…
kindly give us any negative feedback if you feel so.thats important to us.well theres some instability at the end but we changed the insert and was taken care of.
