- 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.
