London Total Knee Replacement Surgery For Stability & Flexibility: Clinic Update

PRESS RELEASE
Published March 31, 2024

A new type of knee replacement surgery, called TWIS-TKR (Turn With Intelligent Stability - Total Knee Replacement), is now available from MSK Doctors in London. This innovative procedure offers several advantages over traditional knee replacements, including improved stability and range of motion.

More information about the TWIS-TKR procedure, an analysis of clinical trial results, and the MSK Doctors no-referral, self-booking option can be found at https://mskdoctors.com/treatments/twis-tkr

TWIS-TKR is a customized surgical approach that takes into account each patient's unique anatomy, using AI-powered surgical planning techniques that have only recently become available. This allows for a more precise fit and alignment of the implant, which can lead to a more natural feel and improved function.

With this new technique, specialists can use MAI (Motion Artificial Intelligence) to analyze the movements and kinematics of each patient, allowing them to tailor the installation to the individual. In clinical trials, this has resulted in a faster return to normal activities after the surgery and improved Patient Reported Outcomes (PROMs).

Surveying patients who have completed the TWIS-TKR surgery, it was found they reported less pain and discomfort after their operation, as well as a more natural feel and functionality for the new knee. Studies have also suggested that patients who underwent TWIS Total Knee Replacement are less likely to need revision surgeries, due to its increased durability.

Although the TWIS-TKR technique does include additional planning to maximise the effectiveness and precision of the surgery, these additional steps all happen prior to the surgery. The surgical procedure itself has been streamlined to reduce complexity and the risk of complications, and most patients can return home soon after their surgery with a customised recovery plan to get them back to their normal daily activities.

An excerpt from the full report explains, "TWIS-TKR, or Twisting Knee Replacement, represents a breakthrough in knee arthroplasty, prioritising custom rotational alignment for each patient. This advanced system adapts to the unique anatomy and biomechanics of each individual's knee, ensuring an implant that functions naturally and efficiently."
