Replacement of knee joint abroad

Endoprosthesis of the knee joint is an operation performed to restore motor functions and neutralize pain in degenerative cartilage lesions. Replacement of the knee joint abroad is popular among Russians for several reasons. First of all, it is a minimally invasive and atraumatic intervention - the operation is performed through a small incision under epidural anesthesia.

The second reason for applying to foreign doctors is the use of the latest biocompatible implants with a long service life, manufactured or selected according to individual parameters. And the third advantage of treatment abroad is the minimal duration of rehabilitation, which allows us to return to full-fledged life 2-3 months after a radical procedure.

According to Wikipedia, osteoarthritis( in particular, gonarthrosis) in some cases is treated with conservative methods. Foreign doctors try to apply surgical techniques only in those situations when sparing therapy is ineffective. This is another reason why patients try to seek help from them.

Foreign orthopedists practice unique methods of therapy of the knee joint:

• Modern complex diagnostics, revealing the degree of damage and deterioration of the joint;
• Selection of effective complex therapy for the preoperative non-surgical treatment;
• Personal selection of modular prostheses with computer technology "Signature Knee";
• Small and minimally invasive surgery for the installation of MIS implants( bloodless and painless, which does not require general anesthesia and long-term rehabilitation);
• Alternate or simultaneous replacement of both knee joints with minimal risks to the patient;
• Unicondylar and bicondylar endoprosthetics under computer control;
• The use of bioinert implants, combining the long service life and absolute safety for the patient's health;
• Drawing up rehabilitation schemes that allow to restore normal activity 2-3 months after the operation.

The advantages of knee replacement abroad are obvious. Supplement the list is the availability of medical services and attentive staff. Alas, such treatment in Russia is even more costly, being thus less effective.
