Breakthrough Knee Surgery Revolutionizing Treatment Options for Joint Pain in India

• In the past, knee replacement surgery was the primary solution for severe knee pain. 
• However, recent advancements in Swedish technology have introduced an alternative approach that helps preserve the knee. 
• Episurf Medical, a Swedish company, has developed an innovative transplant system that allows surgeons to replace only the affected part of the knee by friction rather than requiring a complete knee replacement. 
• This approach has been used successfully in Sweden for years, and now Episurf Medical has introduced it to India. 
• The company has created individual patellofemoral implants to address various knee disorders and a surgical drill guide for treating articular cartilage injuries. 
• This method is gaining popularity worldwide, and the first surgery using the Individualised Patellofemoral Joint implant surgery was recently conducted in a hospital in New Delhi, marking its debut in the Asia Pacific region.
