A Japanese patient completed knee replacement surgery in Shanghai, experiencing the high-level orthopedic services of Shanghai. Preoperative three-dimensional planning determined prosthesis size and alignment, multimodal analgesia allowed walking on the day of surgery, and the rehabilitation process went smoothly.
Treatment process
The patient booked through the joint surgery department at a partner hospital, completing lower limb three-dimensional planning before surgery to precisely determine prosthesis size, resection amount and lower limb alignment. Surgery used a minimally invasive approach with a multimodal analgesia protocol, allowing walking on the day of surgery.
