Alternative to Surgery
Joint replacement (endoprosthesics) is a high-tech surgery to implant a device that functions as a healthy joint. It is necessary when a joint is damaged following an injury or as a result of a chronic degenerative disease
Knee replacement is one of the most complex orthopedic surgeries. It is associated with high risks. Bleeding that occurs during surgery or within the first 24 hours post-operation poses a particular threat to the patient. Blood loss often reaches one, one and a half, or even two liters per day. Up to 30% of infectious complications lead to severe orthopedic defects, reduced quality of life, and economic costs for patients. Possible thrombosis or thromboembolism also poses a significant threat.
In recent years, knee replacement surgery has been increasingly required by patients under the age of 65. This is despite the fact that in 2005, the age threshold ranged from 65 to 74 years!
Today, arthro-medullary shunting is becoming the alternative method of choice for joint treatment and preservation.
A hollow shunt is implanted into the affected joint. As a result, components of the patient's own bone marrow fat enter the joint cavity, providing a therapeutic effect.
Since the scope of the intervention is minimal, recovery takes place in record time. The patient is discharged the same or the next day. Most patients begin to stand and walk within just 24 hours after shunt implantation.
