UK Orthopaedic Experts Total Knee Arthroplasty For Fast Recovery Announced

The first modern full knee replacement was successfully performed in 1974, but the medical industry has advanced significantly since then. While a similar procedure is still performed today, with the latest improvements, MSK Doctors in London are now offering an enhanced, minimally invasive knee replacement procedure with less post-operative pain and a faster recovery.

This surgical procedure uses a similar approach and technique as a typical Total Knee Arthroplasty, with several improvements in the areas of pre-planning procedures, advanced medical tools, and improved post-operative care. This method allows most patients to return home within a few days of their procedure, though they will still require outpatient rehabilitation.

The procedure begins with extensive pre-planning, which may require X-rays, MRIs, or other scans, so the surgical team can determine a precise placement and angle for the new prosthetic. The surgical team can also use this information to make a personalised plan for implantation, allowing them to minimise surgical trauma during the operation by reducing damage caused to surrounding tissue, nerves, and tendons.

Using advanced surgical tools, MSK Doctors can also significantly reduce the size of the initial incisions, which has been shown to reduce recovery times and visible scarring. Details about these reductions can be found in the full report, but experts suggest the initial incisions can be as small as 25-50% of what they would be for a traditional knee replacement.

By combining several of these techniques to limit surgical trauma from the procedure, MSK Doctors help patients to recover faster, with less pain, and less hospital time or rehabilitation required. While the recovery time will vary from person to person, reports suggest that many individuals can be back on their feet and resume their normal daily activities within 6 – 8 weeks.

This minimally invasive procedure offers several benefits over the traditional options, but not every individual will be a suitable candidate for the operation. Interested individuals can speak to an MSK Doctors Orthopaedic specialist directly, with no waiting list or GP referral.

New and returning patients can schedule their own appointments with an MSK Doctors specialist, at any time, online or over the phone.
