Senior orthopaedic and specialist joint replacement surgeon Dr kalpit Patel feels that pain and suffering from severe arthritis of the knee joints can be very problematic in a senior citizens day-to-day functioning.
Non-operative treatments like knee joint injections, activity modification, and anti-inflammatory medications can be the first option for most people, but when these have failed to provide adequate relief, Knee replacement surgery is the best option as it provides pain relief and improved knee function for more than 15 years in 95% patients.
Knee replacement, also known as knee arthroplasty or total knee replacement, is a surgical procedure to resurface a knee damaged by arthritis. Metal and plastic parts are used to cap the ends of the bones that form the knee joint.
Like all safety conscious surgeons, Dr kalpit patel tries to avoid complications affecting results of total knee replacement surgery. These are infection, patient’s allergy to metal components and surgical knee alignment errors.
To reduce complications and worries for patients and doctors alike when it comes to knee replacement surgeries, Meril Life Sciences created the Opulent Bionik Gold knee technology as their active patient’s solution.
The Opulent Bionik Gold Knee improves on everything that came before it. This knee artificial implant is twice as hard as the Zirconium Oxide implants currently being used in the similar niche product range.
The Opulent Bionik Gold Knee is currently the most biocompatible non-allergic surface material out there, with a mere 0.0008 times ionic release compared to that of regular Cobalt Chromium products.
It is the latest advanced technology coated with Titanium Niobium Nitride material .
“The hi-flexion design provides full flexion of leg and allows the patient to squat, kneel and climb stairs after knee replacement operation” Dr kalpit patel added. The innovative knee replacement artificial implant called *opulent*, gold knee implant offers his patients more comfort, safety and longevity.
Dr kalpit patel, who is private practicing consultant in Naisarg orthospeciality Hospital, Vadodara, said, “I did a knee replacement surgery on a 62-year-old active male using opulent gold knee implant at Naisarg Hospital, vadodara.
