Minimally Invasive Total Knee Arthroplasty 微創人工膝關節置換手術
關節炎晚期,包括骨關節炎、類風濕性關節炎、痛風性關節炎、外傷性骨關節炎以及自發性膝骨壞死,可能因為疼痛、關節積液、變形以及活動範圍受限,而導致嚴重的功能障礙。
全膝關節置換手術可以提供新的、平滑的關節面(關節表面重建)並矯正患肢的變形(重新對線),是骨科領域中最令人滿意的手術之一。
Procedures and Features
Minimally Invasive Surgery
The average operation time for minimally invasive total knee arthroplasty is approximately 30 minutes or less. For simultaneous bilateral knee replacement, the surgery takes around 70 minutes or less. The incision size is about 8 to 10 centimeters. More importantly, compared to traditional surgical methods, our procedure causes less damage to the quadriceps muscle. As a result, walking aids are usually not needed after surgery.
Multimodal Blood Management
We follow a standardized protocol that includes intra-articular medication to reduce blood loss, as well as post-operative blood transfusion arrangements. This ensures a safe and comfortable recovery, even for patients undergoing simultaneous bilateral knee replacement.
Multimodal Pain Management
We combine oral medications, intravenous injections, and patient-controlled analgesia devices to greatly enhance early rehabilitation and patient satisfaction. With our pain management approach, nearly all patients are able to walk well on the first day after surgery.
Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) Prevention
VTE is a common complication following total knee arthroplasty, but it can be effectively prevented. Our protocol includes the use of intravenous low molecular weight heparin, low-dose aspirin, and factor Xa inhibitors to provide strong protection against this condition.
Professional Rehabilitation Program
Experienced orthopedic surgeons, rehabilitation physicians, physical therapists, and specialized nurses support patients with their post-operative rehabilitation. This includes continuous passive motion (CPM) exercises with machines, cold therapy, walking independently with or without aids, stair training, and addressing common post-surgical concerns.
