Managing Osteoarthritis: Helping The Elderly Maintain Function and Mobility
The effects of osteoarthritis accumulate as people age.
The presence of osteoarthritis significantly predicts whether or not elderly people will become
functionally limited in their ability to care for themselves.
Osteoarthritis of the knee and hip joints causes the most difficulty for the elderly because it
significantly impacts their ability to conduct their normal activities of daily living, such as
walking, cooking, bathing, dressing, using the toilet, and performing household chores.
Joints can become painful, stiff, and swollen.
The resulting pain causes limited motion, reduced physical capability, restriction of social activities,
and compromised work capacity.
The interaction of these factors—pain, loss of social contact, and diminished income—can create
emotional distress, which further reduces physical activity.
Increased disability results when the affected joints are exercised less, and the elderly begin to lose
muscle tone, leading to reduced strength.
Because there is no cure, the therapeutic goal of treatment for osteoarthritis is to minimize the
effects of the disease and its consequences over time.

Joint Replacement Surgery : Helping The Elderly Maintain Function and Mobility
Use of NSAIDs (Pain Killers) Contributes to High Costs
Medications do not cure osteoarthritis but are intended to relieve pain.
AHRQ studies indicate that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory(NSAIDs) drugs were the medications of choice for
osteoarthritis pain until research showed that they affect joint cartilage metabolism, have greater risk of toxicity ,
can cause upper gastrointestinal bleeding, and may cause or aggravate peptic ulcer disease.
AHRQ study showed that 30-40 percent of all elderly use NSAIDs each year and 10-13 percent of the elderly
use NSAIDs every day.
AHRQ research further showed that NSAIDs provided only a modest decrease in osteoarthritis pain and little
improvement in function, and their association with ulcers, bleeding, and perforation caused a four- to five-fold
increase in hospitalizations due to gastrointestinal complications.
Surgical repair and replacement of the knee joints provide durable pain relief and functional improvement in
patients with Knee osteoarthritis.
The AHRQ total knee replacement Patient Outcomes Research Team (TKR PORT) showed that, despite the risk
of complications, quality of life improves for the elderly after knee replacement surgery
Finally, Surgical Knee Replacement helps the elderly gain improved functional ability and quality of life.

LATEST TECHNOLOGY : MORE KNEE FLEXION AFTER TKR
The New PS Knee Design is a Pivotal
Breakthrough in Knee Replacement
Technology
For those who suffer from osteoarthritis,
pain has become a part of everyday life.
In some cases, total knee replacement
may be the best option for relief.
But many individuals may not take that
step, fearing further limitations in their
daily activities.
Post-Cam Design – the unique design mimics natural knee
kinematics and facilitates a large range of motion and optimized surface contact
Innovative 7-Layer AS Coating – Unparalleled surface hardness, substantially
decreased wear rates and greatly improved scratch resistance.
Excellent Jump Distances – in conjunction with post height and inclination,
the post-cam design results in excellent jump distances, which increase flexion
and can reduce subluxation risks.
Intuitive IQ Instrumentation Platform – dual-purpose instruments, fewer trays
and a simplistic design that allows quick, easy resizing and can reduce operating
room time.
Better Bone Fit – 13 femoral sizes and 11 tibial sizes offer a wide-range of
soft-tissue friendly implants.
Based on a patent-pending post-cam design that optimizes pivotal
motion while greatly reducing surface stress, the NEW Posterior
Stabilized Knee Implant represents a whole new way to think
about PS knee replacement.
New PS Knee : Flexible Solution for TKR Patients

Osteoarthritis of Knee Joint in India
Many activities of daily living require
flexion beyond 120 degrees. Consider
climbing stairs (75-140 degrees),
sitting in a chair and standing up again
(90-130 degrees),or squatting , use of
Indian style toilets, praying- Namaz
(130-150+ degrees).
The implant design (most contemporary
TKA implants) are not designed to permit
flexion beyond 120 degrees.

COMPUTER NAVIGATION IN JOINT REPLACEMENT SURGERY
Every Joint is unique and should be treated accordingly.
Computer-assisted surgery helps guide your surgeon through joint replacement
surgery for optimum implant positioning.
Optimal alignment of the implant which can:
Increase implant longevity by decreasing uneven wear
Increase stability and range of motion
Decrease the risk of dislocation and revision surgery
Eliminates excess exposure to radiation by removing the need for
X-rays and CT scans
Proven success in more than 300 publications
Used in more than millions of cases worldwide
Less invasive surgery due to enhanced visualization, which has many
benefits including:
Reduced blood loss, decreased need for transfusion
Faster return to a better quality of life
Shorter hospital stay
Improved implant sizing and positioning reliability
Large orthopaedic range: knee & hip
How can Computer Navigation System benefit ?
Computer Navigation System allows your surgeon to customize procedure
for greater implant placement accuracy.

TOTAL HIP JOINT REPLACEMENT SURGERY
Hip replacement surgery, also called total hip arthroplasty, involves
removing a diseased hip joint and replacing it with an artificial joint,
called a prosthesis.
Hip prostheses consist of a ball component, made of metal or ceramic,
and a socket, which has an insert or liner made of plastic, ceramic or metal.
The implants used in hip replacement are biocompatible — meaning they're
designed to be accepted by your body — and they're made to resist
corrosion, degradation and wear.
If bone cement is used to fix implant, it is called Cemented THR.
In Un cemented THR, implant surface is coated with special material
ie Hydroxyappatite (HA) which allows bone ingrowth and fixation.
Hip replacement is typically used for people with hip joint damage from
arthritis or an injury.
Followed by rehabilitation, hip replacement can relieve pain and restore
range of motion and function of hip joint.
Uncemented THR Cemented THR

PATIENT SPECIFIC INSTRUMENTS (PSI) IN JOINT REPLACEMENT SURGERY
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) performed with the Patient Specific
Instruments (PSI) system is similar to TKA with traditional
instrumentation or computer-assisted navigation.
Whichever method is used, the goal is to align the cutting blocks to
guide bone resection in the proper orientation in all planes.
Device details
Zimmer - Patient Specific Instruments
Biomet (Warsaw, IN) - Signature Personalized Patient Care
Smith & Nephew (Memphis, TN) - Visionaire Patient Matched Technology
DePuy (Warsaw, IN) - TruMatch Personalized Solutions
Alternative methods of performing TKA without custom instrumentation
include traditional intra-medullary and extra-medullary guides or
intra-operative computer-assisted navigation.

Bilateral Knee Replacement at Global Hospitals, Mumbai
Patient:1 Patient:2 Patient:3
Patient:4
Patient walking next day
One or both knees may be affected by arthritis. If both knee joints show changes on X-rays and
only one knee joint is painful, stiff, and disturbs daily activities of life, then only the painful knee
joint should be operated on.
If both knees are equally painful, then both should be operated on.
The patient will have only one surgical "event", single anesthesia,
and a shorter hospital stay.
Simultaneous Bilateral Total Knee Replacement
If both knees are equally painful and stiff, it is possible to have both knees replaced during one
operation under one anesthesia. The operations are followed by a single rehabilitation period
within one hospital stay. Such two simultaneous surgeries are called Simultaneous Bilateral
Total Knee Replacement or single sitting bilateral total knee replacement.
The surgery that replaces both damaged knee joints is called bilateral total knee replacements.
Dr Ajay Rathod performs Bilateral knee surgery at Global Hospital and it presents one of the
most spectacular successes of the total knee replacement surgery.
This is so because two impaired knee joints cause much more symptoms and severe disability.
In people with both knee joints affected, they have no healthy leg to rely on during the post
operative rehabilitation!
Staged Total Knee Replacement
The surgeon replaces the arthritic knee joint one at a time, at two separate operations, often
several days to several months apart. The patient will need two hospital stays, two anesthesia
and two rehabilitation periods. This is called Staged Total Knee Replacement.

PATIENT STORIES: INDIAN PATIENT
Patient’s Experience of
Knee Joint Replacement Surgeries
My name is Veena Narang, I was suffering from a knee pain for last 20 years. I could not stand for long,
could not walk without much pain, and could not climb stairs. Even pain killers wouldn't help.
I went for Physiotherapy, taken alternative medicines like homeopathy but no relief. Because of which
I used to sit at home alone and not go anywhere out with family and friends.
Around 12 years back doctors advised me to go for a Knee Replacement surgery but I was very afraid
to go for it as I was getting very negative feedback about the success of the surgery. People used to
say you won't be able to walk again after the surgery and all.
So I thought pain and suffering is my destiny.
Patient
Indian
Mrs Veena Narang from Mumbai,
underwent Successful Joint Replacement Surgery
for both Knee performed by
Dr Ajay Rathod, in Mumbai
Then somebody gave me reference of Dr. Ajay Rathod, he examined me and explained me that I would
need a surgery and no less.
Dr. Ajay Rathod explained the entire procedure to me gave me examples of surgeries performed by him
and for the first time I got convinced for the surgery and I took decision to undergo for my knee
replacement surgery by him. He guided us through the entire process and performed the surgery on
my both legs together. The surgery was done with utmost care and precaution and the results
are encouraging.
Today, after 6 months of surgery I am perfectly fine. I am able to walk without any pain, I am
able to climb stairs & do all the activities which a normal person without any knee problem
can do.
Thanks to Dr. Ajay Rathod for that. My confidence in life has just increased.
My message to all the people who suffer from Knee pain and have been advised surgery by
doctor, would be Please go for the surgery without any fear. Please don't take any tension
and leave it on Dr. Ajay Rathod. He will take care of everything. Believe me the hesitation
and fear which you go though before the surgery is nothing compared to the relief and
confidence you feel after you recover from the surgery.
