The ‘Attune Rotating Platform Knee Replacement’, is positioned as a revolutionary new technique in the field of surgical medicine and orthopaedics. Using a minimally invasive subvastus, this surgical approach involves less cutting of the tissues around the knee.

“Unlike the traditional knee replacement surgery, this kind of surgical approach is less invasive because it involves a shorter incision. It also ensures that the Patella and Tibio Femoral joint, two of the largest joints of the body, are preserved. Due to Attune’s less invasive nature, it reduces recovery time and ensures parents to return to their normal activities in the shortest possible period,” said Dr K Hariprasad, chief executive officer of Apollo Hospitals.
