Follow on Google News | The First Knee Surgery Performed With I-Assist in India A Great Success!Dr. A. K. Venkatachalam, a renowned orthopedic surgeon in India, has successfully performed for the first time a knee surgery using the innovative I-Assist device.
By: PlacidWay The I-Assist is a modern surgical guidance system which was designed to improve the accuracy during the total knee replacement procedures. The device helps the surgeon perfectly align the knee implants according to each patient's anatomy, providing a personalized fit and customized total knee replacement. The alignment is achieved intra operatively. The implants are not custom built. The gadget incorporates all the latest-technological guidance applications into a half-palm sized electronic display, linked to the operating field itself. During the procedure, the surgeon is able to keep the visual focus on the operating field, compared to other navigation systems which require the repetitive back and forth transfer of the surgeon’s gaze from the computer monitor to the operating field. Advantages of using the I-Assist: * No capital equipment investment by the hospital * Intuitively integrates with the surgeon's existing instrumentation for the knee replacement procedure * No pre-operative imaging is required. * No waiting time for the patient * Minimally-invasive procedure. * Diminishes the surgeon's operating time. "We are really proud of the successful outcome we achieved by using the innovative I-Assist Device for the first time in India. From now own patients will be able to undergo a less-invasive, faster and less painful total knee replacement surgery, thanks to this revolutionary navigation system. We are the first clinic in Chennai, India to use this device, and we hope that we will be able to help as many patients as possible get access to this revolutionary device," said Dr. A. K.
