R2R Technique by Knee Replacement Surgeon in Kolkata

When non-surgical treatments do not solve problems of severe Knee Arthritis; extreme knee pain and swelling that restricts one from doing daily activities and causes difficulty sleeping; or conditions like knocked knee, etc., then a treatment that an Orthopedic Surgeon considers for the patient is Knee Replacement Surgery. This surgical intervention alleviates the symptoms and restores the original mobility.

When led by an expert Knee Replacement Surgeon in Kolkata- Dr. Dhiraj Marothi Jain, the patient finds relief as the surgery rate is high and highly effective.

Race Knee Clinic offers advanced surgical management of different kinds of knee problems mentioned above, which are severe in nature. There are two types of Knee Replacements performed by the Knee Replacement Doctor in Kolkata-

Total- When all three knee compartments need replacement due to bone condition or an injury, it is called Total Knee Replacement or TKR.

Partial- Partial Knee Replacement Surgery refers to replacing only one damaged compartment of the knee.

Treatment Alternatives to Knee Replacement

Some methods are tried before the Joint Replacement Surgeon suggests Knee Replacement Surgery. The use of these methods depends upon the knee problem, its location, the severity of the damage, the patient's age, and the complete medical history of the patient. 

• Medications: Topical ointments and oral medicines may relieve knee pain and swelling.

• Injections: These injections help with knee inflammation and its symptoms to a great extent. They are either corticosteroids or hyaluronic acid injections.

• Lifestyle modifications: Losing weight (in case of overweight and obesity), low-impact exercise, using walking aids, etc., are measures to minimize the symptoms.

• Surgery: Osteotomy and Arthroscopy are two surgical options a Knee Replacement Doctor considers depending on the type of damage to the knee.

Can Knee Replacement Surgery be delayed?

The Knee Replacement Surgeon in Kolkata suggests that Knee Replacement Surgery, if not done timely, can lead to:

• Increase in stiffness and pain in the knee

• Damage to the joints other than that of the knee

• Development of deformity in the knee joint

• Knee instability and complete restriction to the mobility

• Increase in complexity of the knee surgery procedure

• Slow healing on the postponement of the Knee Replacement Surgery

Also, as the pain increases and mobility decreases, an individual likely gets used to a sedentary and inactive physical lifestyle. A long-term absence of physical activity and exercise leads to obesity and a lowered overall quality of life. If there are no factors that can prevent conducting Knee Replacement Surgery (after being examined by the Knee Replacement Doctor), then it is recommended that the patient undergoes the procedure at the correct time. It ensures quick and proper healing without the risk of postoperative complications.

R2R Knee Replacement Surgical Technique

Resurfacing only the damaged part of the knee while preserving the inner soft tissue, and covering it with a cap for smooth mobility, R2R (Replacement to Resurfacing) technique, developed by Dr. Dhiraj Marothi Jain, the Knee Replacement Surgeon in Kolkata, has saved many people from chronic knee pain, knee deformity, and bone degenerative conditions like Arthritis. If a patient undergoes an R2R procedure, the benefits will be:

• Shorter recovery duration

• Low risk of infections after the surgery

• Less removal of bone tissue

• The procedure duration is less than 20 minutes

• Minimal pain after the operation

Race Knee Clinic’s Knee Replacement Doctor has successfully treated many patients by adopting this safe protocol of Knee Replacement. Those who undergo the R2R procedure can resume their daily activities after two weeks.
