Relief for knee patients

Ludhiana: Partial knee anthroplasty is available in the city for those patients whose knees are not entirely affected by arthritis. A new therapy is being opted for patients with osteoarthritis. Having undertaken a few operations of this kind, Dr Neeraj Bansal, Orthopaedics and Joint Replacement Consultant at Fortis Hospital, Ludhiana said," My method of diagnosing an ideal patient for unicondylar or partial knee arthroplasty (UKA) is by the symptom of "Pointing sign". Patients undergo smaller incision, less bone and soft tissue dissection, early rehabilitation period, less blood loss and lower incidence of medical complication.
