Quota-Funded Knee Replacement
Knee replacement is one of the most complex and expensive orthopedic surgeries. As a rule, patients try to undergo this procedure through government funding (quotas). However, the waiting period can take up to two years! Throughout this entire time, patients have to endure a low quality of life, pain, and restricted mobility.
These include both sepsis and artificial joint rejection. Such surgeries require extensive surgeon experience and meticulous planning. Even if healing is successful, a patient's lifestyle changes significantly for a long time after implantation.
The risk of complications in joint replacement surgery is very high and ranges from 1% to 52%.
The arthro-medullary shunting method is free of these drawbacks.
It allows patients to maintain a high quality of life and, if joint replacement surgery becomes absolutely necessary, enables them to wait comfortably for government funding (quotas) without restricted mobility or constant pain.
Even if joint function is not fully restored, patients will very soon be able to forget about pain and stiffness
For example, in stage IV osteoarthritis, when the cartilage is already completely destroyed, shunting will help buy time to:
- daytime pain will decrease or disappear,
- nighttime pain will stop completely,
- weather sensitivity will be reduced,
- mobility will stabilize or even improve.
