Use of minimal invasive and SUBVASTUS technique of Knee replacement makes it possible to give patient a speedy recovery and a comfortable experience like never before. In the special technique of SUBVASTUS Knee Replacement, the "Thigh muscles (Quadriceps muscles) are not cut" (contrary to traditional technique - parapatellar, thigh muscles are cut). As a result of this technique, which avoids damage to the thigh muscles, the usual severe pain after the surgery, slow recovery, need for bed rest, dependency on family in post operative period, long term physiotherapy, long time to return to daily routine can be avoided with subvastus knee replacement. Hence it offers faster recovery, less pain, no/minimal physiotherapy and early return to normal routine usually within 14 days - an overall better experience for patient as well as the family. The usual recovery pattern (timeline) seen/expected after use of SUBVASTUS technique is as follows:
Knee bending immediately after the surgery. Walking with walker next day of surgery
Walking without support 2nd day of surgery
Back to routine life in 14 days. No need of bed rest
Patient is mobile and can go to bathroom from next day of surgery. No to minimal physiotherapy is required
