Dr. Madan Mohan Reddy, a Senior Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon and Robotic Knee Replacement Surgeon at Apollo Hospitals, Chennai, discussed the Ceramic Total Knee Replacement at a press conference.
Traditional knee replacement surgery often leads to unsatisfactory results due to allergic reactions, loosening of implants, and infections. Ceramic implants offer fewer wear and tear problems, higher resistance to scratching, and a longer life of 45 to 50 years.
Patients aged 40 to 85 can benefit from this treatment, which can help them regain mobility and reduce pain. The treatment is available at Apollo Hospitals, Chennai, as a package, costing around Rs 3,80,000.
