MIOT Hospitals Launches 'Joint for Life Campaign'

India's first programme promising joint replacements for life

MIOT Hospitals, Chennai, the pioneer of joint replacement surgeries in India, launched a unique concept— the 'Joint for Life' programme, a solution to the trauma of revision surgeries and the increasing need for a joint that lasts for life.

Elaborating on the Joint for Life concept, Dr PVA Mohandas, Managing Director, MIOT Hospitals, said, "With more and more people seeking to lead active lives even in their 70s and beyond, there has been a tremendous increase in the demand for knee and hip replacement surgeries. The need for joint replacement is increasing among the younger population too, due to stressful lifestyles and higher incidence of accidents. A key element in a replacement surgery is the artificial joint that is used."

MIOT's Joint for Life deals with two aspects— the choice of implant and its precise placement. Once the right implant is chosen, MIOT surgeons then place this implant with zero-error precision supported by computer navigation and several man years' of experience, having specialised in this field and perfecting their technique with constant updates, their efficiency and skill ensures optimum operating time and sensitive tissue handling. As a minimally invasive surgery with no muscle cutting, the patient could be walking in one and a half hours after the surgery. There is less pain, less complications and early return to normal activity. The surgery is performed in modern laminar flow theatres where the latest technology ensures a completely infection-free cocoon for the patient.
