Chandigarh, Mohali, February 07: “Natural knee resurfacing (NKR) is an active knee solution which is created for active arthritis patients seeking options beyond traditional total knee replacement. This advanced technology aims to provide more normal motion and higher performance through natural preservation of bone and soft tissues.”
While stating this on Sunday during an ortho camp, Dr. Manuj Wadhwa, chairman & executive director of IVY Hospital’s Elite Institutes of Orthopaedics and Joint Replacement said that NKR is an active knee solution created for arthritis patients seeking options beyond traditional total knee replacement.
He further said that this advanced technology aims to provide more normal motion and higher performance through the natural preservation of bone and soft tissues. This is stitch-less surgery where resurfacing of bone is done in less than 15-minute and the patients are walking within 3-hr of surgery.
This is painless surgery where the patient can walk, squat, and sit cross-legged like a natural original joint, he asserted. Now patients with NKR can do all high bending activities like natural with full freedom from pain, he said.
