Customised knee replacement

Professor Raut is skilled in patient-specific knee replacement surgery, a cutting edge technique to custom-fit the replacement knee prosthesis to the individual's anatomy. MRI or CT scans of the patient's knee are used to construct a 3D computer model from which the prosthesis is then moulded.  Surgery times with this technique are consistent and there is excellent accuracy in positioning achieved with the customised prosthesis
