The field of joint replacement of hip and knee has undergone major changes in last few years.

While the issues of surgical technique and longeveity of the prosthesis have been addressed to major details, the early recovery of function after surgery is the theme these days.

With the technique of Reduced Tissue Trauma Surgery (RTTS), the recovery of function after surgery is miraculous. Most patients can walk with minimal pain and discomfort within 12-24 hours of surgery.

Majority of patients go home in 2-3 days and can walk without any support in 5-7 days.

Unlike Minimally invasive surgery (MIS), all patients are candidate for this newer technique.  Other proven benefits of this technique are

1. Less blood loss (and consequently, negligible need for blood transfusion)

2. Less incidence of blood clots (Deep vein thrombosis)
