Recognized as one of the best knee replacement surgeon in Mumbai, Dr. Tushar C. Patil specializes in the advanced minimally invasive subvastus approach. Unlike traditional methods that cut through the quadriceps, this muscle-sparing technique works beneath the muscle, preserving the leg's natural strength and reducing post-operative pain. By combining this with posterior cruciate retaining knee replacement, Dr. Patil ensures more natural knee kinematics and superior proprioception, allowing the joint to function as nature intended. This unique combination facilitates immediate rehabilitation, with most patients achieving faster mobility and a quicker return to their daily lives without the long recovery times of conventional surgery.
Key Highlights of Dr. Patil's Approach
* Subvastus Approach: Preserves the quadriceps muscle, leading to less trauma and a smaller scar.
* PCL Retention: Keeps the posterior cruciate ligament intact for a "natural feel" while walking or climbing stairs.
* Rapid Recovery: Minimal tissue damage allows for earlier weight-bearing and physical therapy.
