Knee replacement surgery
My grandmother is suffering from knee joint pain problem since 15 years now doctors had adviced for knee replacement surgery. we have been told about two like products from different brands i.e JOHNSON n JOHNSON and SMITH n NEPHEW. kindly, advice which one is better to opt for best results. THANK YOU!
Hi, this is Dr Hitin Mathur, Orthopaedics surgeon from Fortis C Doc Hospital, New Delhi. Welcome to practo. As far as knee implants are concerned, both offer similar results technically speaking. Results of Knee replacement depend on surgeon comfort with the instrumentation along with patient factors like initial weight of patient and commitment to do physiotherapy and knee strengthening exercises as advised.

Keep this choice of implant on ur orthopaedic only as each one is comfortable with particular set only. Before operation do take atleast 2 weeks preoperative physiotherapy sessions for better tolerance to the operation and speedy recovery afterwards. Visit a qualified and registered physiotherapist nearby. Know us more at www drrajivmehta com
