by Dr. A.K. Venkatachalam | Knee Surgery India
The JOURNEY Knee in Oxinium was introduced in India by Dr. A.K.Venkatachalam, consultant Orthopedic surgeon in Chennai this week. The first patient to receive bilateral Oxinium Journey replacements was a 38 year old lady suffering from crippling Rheumatoid arthritis.
The innovative JOURNEY anatomical knee system is designed to move and feel like a normal knee, and addresses problems still found in conventional systems such as instability and limited flexion. The JOURNEY System offers the additional durability of Smith & Nephew’s proprietary alternate-bearing surface, OXINIUM* oxidized zirconium.
The system is described as “bi-cruciate stabilized” because unlike conventional knee systems, this implant design replicates the functions of both the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL). These ligaments provide stability and support for the knee, but are frequently removed during knee replacement surgery.
