Knee Surgery Doesn’t Have to Be Risky
For many patients, the thought of knee replacement surgery brings more fear than relief. Concerns about surgical errors, recovery time, and long-term results are common — and understandable. But modern technology is changing that narrative.
In Bangalore, Dr. Sai Krishna uses Pixee Navigation, an advanced augmented reality (AR) surgical guidance system, to make knee replacements safer, more precise, and less invasive. This isn’t just innovation for the sake of technology — it’s about reducing risks and improving patient outcomes.
Symptoms That May Lead to Knee Replacement
You might need a knee replacement if you experience:
- Severe knee pain during walking, climbing stairs, or standing
- Stiffness that limits daily activities
- Chronic swelling that doesn’t improve with rest or medication
- Joint deformity or bow-legged/knock-kneed appearance
- Pain at night that disturbs sleep
If these symptoms persist despite medication, physiotherapy, or lifestyle changes, your doctor may suggest surgery.
Causes Behind the Need for Surgery
Knee damage severe enough to require replacement usually stems from:
- Osteoarthritis – The most common cause, where cartilage wears away over time
- Rheumatoid Arthritis – An autoimmune condition causing joint inflammation and damage
- Post-Traumatic Arthritis – Damage following an injury
- Severe Joint Deformity – Causing abnormal walking patterns and pain
How Pixee Navigation Makes Surgery Safer
Pixee Navigation is not your standard surgical tool — it’s a cutting-edge AR headset worn by the surgeon. Here’s how it ensures safer knee replacements:
- Real-Time 3D Guidance
The AR system projects accurate alignment and positioning information directly into the surgeon’s field of view. - Millimeter-Level Precision
This accuracy helps avoid human error, ensuring the implant is perfectly aligned. - Smaller Incisions & Less Tissue Damage
Reducing surgical trauma means faster healing and less post-operative pain. - Lower Risk of Complications
Proper alignment reduces the chances of implant loosening or early wear. - Consistent, Repeatable Results
Every patient receives the same high level of surgical accuracy.
Prevention: Avoiding Future Knee Damage
While some cases require surgery no matter what, you can reduce your risk of severe knee damage by:
- Maintaining a healthy weight to reduce joint stress
- Doing low-impact exercises like swimming or cycling
- Wearing supportive footwear
- Treating injuries promptly
- Getting regular check-ups if you have arthritis
