Robotic TKR Surgery by Dr.Shailendra Patil in Thane

Robotic TKR surgery is known to offer the most accurate positioning of the knee implant. Which is critical to offer a natural feeling post-surgery. However, this surgery is quite expensive as it can cost 2-3 times the cost of a normal TKR surgery. This is primarily due to the high cost of the robotic surgery setup. Hence, as of today it is out of the reach of a common person.

However, using Robo-Navigation orthopedics are able to achieve similar results as robotic TKR surgery as it employs the same aligning sensors used in the advanced robotic surgery systems. This setup is relatively cheaper and provides patients similar surgical outcomes but at a much lesser cost. Dr. Shailendra Patil offers Robo-navigation to all his patients who opt for it.

ACL Surgery Recovery Tips | Dr.Shailendra Patil Thane,Mulund

ACL surgery

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery is typically done to repair damage to the ligament that connects your femur (thighbone) to your tibia (shinbone) and help to keep your knee joint in working order.

Recovery includes rest, physical therapy, and progressive return to activities. Sticking to your rehabilitation plan is crucial to facilitate your speedy recovery.

ACL recovery

Typically after ACL surgery is complete you’ll be sent home the same day. Once you wake up from anesthesia, you’ll likely practice walking on crutches and get fitted with a knee brace or splint.

You’ll be given written instructions on showering and immediate post-operative care.

Orthopedic surgeons commonly suggest following the RICE first aid model (rest, ice, compression, elevation) to help alleviate swelling after your surgery. Do not use a heating pad during the first week after surgery.

Depending on your specific situation, you might begin putting weight on your leg two to three weeks after surgery. You could regain full use of your knee within four to eight weeks.

Your doctor will most likely recommend physical therapy to help you build leg and knee strength. Physical therapy may last two to six months.

To help your wound heal, make sure to change the dressing on your wound according to your doctor’s instructions. That might include keeping the wound clean and free of debris and using an elastic bandage.

Tips for a speedy recovery

Recovering from an ACL surgery can be long and difficult, but there are ways to make your recovery as quick as possible while achieving the best outcome.

Listen to and read your post-operative instructions

After surgery, you should be given verbal instructions for recovery as well as written instructions. Make sure to read and understand those instructions and what to look for as far as infection or adverse reactions to the surgery.

Attend all of your appointments

Although it may be tempting to skip a few of your rehabilitation appointments or your check-up appointments, don’t. Attend all of your appointments or reschedule ones that you may have to miss.

Go to physical therapy

Physical therapy is needed to help you regain strength in your leg. If you do not have a regular physical therapist, ask your doctor for suggestions in your area.

Be sure to perform and participate in all rehab exercises to the best of your ability. Check with your insurance company to see how many sessions your plan covers.

Take your medicine

If you are prescribed pain medications, take them as prescribed. They can help you recover faster by dulling pain while working on strength and range-of-motion exercises in physical therapy.

Do not overuse your pain medication or it may be harder to function without them once the prescription has run out.

Get proper sleep and nutrition

Getting the right amount of rest helps your body heal. Try to incorporate lean protein, dairy, and plenty of vegetables into your diet.

Tell your doctor about any issues

If you develop a fever or have abnormal pain or other adverse symptoms, you need to let your doctor know. By addressing issues early, your doctor can keep you on track to recovery.

Don’t overdo it

Once you are feeling a little bit better, it may be tempting to immediately return to your old routine. Take it slow, ask for help if you need it, and clear any physical activity with your doctor before participating.

Takeaway

An ACL injury can be hard to deal with, especially if you’re an athlete. However, if you follow proper recovery advice, you should be resuming your regular activities within a year.

Be sure to monitor your recovery and notify your doctor if you have any adverse reactions to the surgery.

Call your doctor if you are experiencing swelling in your calf, yellow discharge from incisions, a high temperature, or continued bleeding of the incision area.

Make a commitment to follow your doctor’s directions and to attend all of your physical therapy sessions. Your knee will continue to grow stronger, and you’ll be able to put the injury in your past and keep it there.

In this article we hope to address most of the misconceptions surrounding knee replacement for diabetics and what can be done to prevent pre & post surgery trauma.Firstly, it’s important to know advancements in knee replacement surgery has come a long way. In the early days when a incision in the muscle was required to reach the joint replacement, which also required blood transfusion. Consequently, the recovery was painful and took about a month to recover. However, with the latest Painless and Minimal-Stitch knee replacement surgery most normal patients start walking on the same day and are back to normal life in a week’s time. This surgery is safe for diabetic patients aswell as long as it is performed under the guidance of experienced knee replacement surgeon and certain pre and post operative parameters are met.So let’s get down to it.

How does Diabetes Affect Joint Replacement Surgery?

Surgery and anesthesia used during a surgery creates an inflammation in the operated region initiates an autoimmune response by the body by the release of adrenaline, noradrenaline, cortisol, glucagon and other hormones. In patients with uncontrolled diabetes this can increases insulin resistance and glucose levels in the body. This can trigger significant hyperglycemia and can lead to deep tissue infection. Eventually, affecting surgical outcomes.Any surgical procedure no matter how safe puts immense stress on the human body. Diabetic patients inherently have weakened immune system, muscles and body tissues. This weakness affects the overall recovery post surgery.

Pre- Knee Replacement Surgery Measures for Diabetes patients?

“Being fully prepared for a surgery is half the battle won”.

We cannot emphasis enough on this, when it comes to diabetic & Hyperglycemic patients. Be it type-1 or type-2 diabetes a rigorous pre-op regime has to be laid out depending on the patients medical history with the objective of controlling diabetes and reducing risks.

Medical Management: When you first visit your orthopaedic a detailed screening for Diabetes and related co-morbid conditions is important. Accordingly, working with your diabetologist a plan is put in place to prepare you and your body for the surgery is important. This might require medical management of blood sugar levels and any other problems like high blood pressure, renal impairment etc. these need to be brought to stable levels to go ahead for surgery. Apart from medical management your doctor might suggest certain diet and physiotherapy to prepare for the surgery.

Diet: Type-2 diabetes is primarily a lifestyle disease and controlling your diet to reduce your HbA1c level (levels around 8% or less should suffice) plays a vital role in surgical outcomes. So what should your diet include… foods which are rich in antioxidants and have anti-inflammatory properties are essential to help mange surgical (inflammatory) stress on the body. Its highly recommended to consult a surgical dietitian who can help you get the best diet to prepare for a knee surgery.

Exercise: This is something which is suggested to even normal patients. Diabetics, generally have weak muscles, its critical to undergo muscle strengthening program before surgery. Studies have shown that pre-op exercise significantly eases and reduces recovery period. When you undergo knee replacement surgery under Dr. Shailendra Patil our Physiotherapist helps you with a home exercise program before and after surgery.

Post- Knee Replacement Surgery Measures for Diabetes patients? Post surgery a diabetic patient with most parameters in control can start walking within a day or two. The medical management of diabetic and co-morbid conditions continue to avoid any post surgery complications, that may arise. The exercise and diet plan continues for a few months until the patient is back to his normal life.So as you have read by now that diabetic patients can undergo knee replacement surgery in a safe manner as long as it is done under professional care by your Knee surgeon and diabetologist. Especially minimally invasive techniques which involves less cutting and sticking and handling of tissue makes surgery and recovery very smooth, even diabetic patient's don’t get any healing problems post surgery.

Is joint replacement surgery right for you? - Dr.Shailendra Patil Mulund/Thane

Whether it’s your knee, hip or something else, joint replacement surgery can help those struggling with severe pain. Procedures are much less invasive today than in previous generations; incisions are smaller, fewer muscles and tendons are disrupted. You will experience less pain, fewer complications and a quicker recovery.

Joint replacement is an option for people with pain and stiffness in their joints. The pain is usually chronic, lasts for several months and contributes to a poor quality of life.

During joint replacement surgery, an artificial joint, made of metal, ceramic or plastic, will replace the deteriorated joint. The most common joint replacement surgeries are ankle, hip, knee and shoulder.

Ankle replacement surgery During ankle replacement surgery, the surgeon removes the worn out ankle joint and places a metal and plastic implant on the end of the shin bone (tibia) and the top of the ankle bone (talus). Ankle replacement is usually an option (compared to ankle fusion) for certain patients with advanced ankle arthritis. Your surgeon will discuss your options and help you decide which prosthesis or technique is best for you.

Hip replacement surgery During the operation, the surgeon replaces the damaged joint with an artificial hip joint. Different types of artificial hip joints, also called prostheses, are available. Usually, the surgeon uses metal and plastic materials to replace the socket of the pelvic bone. Sometimes, other materials, such as ceramic, are used. The operation involves removing the head of the femur (the top of the thigh bone between the hip and knee joint) and replacing it with a ball. A stem attached to the ball holds the ball in the femur. Your surgeon will discuss your options and help you decide which prosthesis or technique is best for you.

Knee replacement surgery The knee is a complex joint with many components, making it vulnerable to a variety of injuries. During the operation, the surgeon resurfaces the damaged joint with an artificial knee joint. Different types of artificial knee joints, also called prostheses, are available. Usually, prostheses are made of metal and plastic materials. Sometimes, other materials are used. Your surgeon will discuss your options and help you decide which prosthesis or technique is best for you.

Shoulder replacement surgery In shoulder replacement surgery, the surgeon replaces the end of the damaged upper arm bone (humerus) and resurfaces the shoulder socket (scapula). In some cases of severe shoulder arthritis, a reverse arthroplasty is recommended. Your surgeon will discuss your options and help you decide which prosthesis or technique is best for you.
