Our doctors at Sunshine Bone and Joint Institute at KIMS-Sunshine Hospitals, Begumpet, Hyderabad achieved a major breakthrough in orthopaedic care! We have successfully performed the first-ever Episealer Knee Implant surgery in the entire Andhra Pradesh and Telangana regions. This innovative procedure offers new hope for patients suffering from knee cartilage injuries. The Episealer implant is a personalised treatment option, custom-made using MRI imaging and 3D modeling for a precise fit. It’s designed to restore knee function, reduce pain, and potentially delay or even eliminate the need for total knee replacement. Dr. Gurava Reddy spoke about this remarkable feat. and how this minimally invasive surgery is already helping hundreds of patients worldwide, and now it’s available in India. This day marks a significant step forward for orthopaedic care in the region. Dr. Kushal Hippalgaonkar, Executive Director at Sunshine Hospitals and a certified Robotic Joint Replacement Surgeon, led the surgery alongside the pioneer of this technique, Prof. Leif Ryd of Episurf Medical AB.
