Knee Replacement Surgery-Revision

2017-05-23 15:21:26
Hi , I am Aravindkrishnan from Coimbatore . I just want to understand the intricacies of knee replacement surgery. My mother in law has to go for Knee Replacement surgery-Revision(Since her primary surgery was unsuccessful ). Our surgeon prefers foreign vendor knee than Indian vendors. Surgeon also says cost difference of foreign suppliers over Indian suppliers is around 2 lakhs (approx. ). Since it is revision , please guide me to choose the type of knee. Do we have quality standard for Indian vendors ?? How good it is ??.

Various companies offer quality Knee revision systems, few of them are: Zimmer-Biomet (USA), Aesculap (Germany), Link (Germany), JnJ Depuy (USA). The choice largely depends of surgeon's preference & expertise. Unfortunately quality systems by Indian companies are not available yet.
