At Fortis, surgeries are conducted in special environments called Space Theatres that are created and constructed for knee replacements. This special environment is a combination of expert surgeons and their team, Clean Air Laminar Air Flow System, and Space suits.
Technology and Medical Infrastructure
The Laminar Air Flow System helps keep the air clean of dust and micro-organisms. The HEPA (High efficiency particulate absolute) filter, which is the filtration of air on control velocity condition, cleans the air as per the specifications of the federal standard 209E. The efficiency of HEPA filters is 99.999% of all particles larger than 0.3 micron ensure that the laminar air flow is ultra cleaned over the entire operating area and instantly the theatre is bacteria free.
During the surgery, the surgeon and the immediate assistant wear specially designed space suits to assure absolute sterile handling of Bones and Joint replacement. This suit comprises of a helmet worn and covered by a space gown.
Computer aided surgery
This Kind of surgery facilitates current placement of artificial joint Prostheses to match the normal human anatomy.
A normative anatomical data is already established in the computer. Based on the intra-operative findings during the surgery, the surgeon can control the outcomes by precisely implementing the 3D plans while collecting and analyzing detailed treatment data. This information reduces the risk of complications, surgery time, hospitalization time, and artificial joints wear through suboptimal selection and position of the implant.
Clexane or Rivoroxaban generally used for DVT. We also use calf Pump and DVT stockings to Prevent DVT.
For Replacement Surgeries only international standards of Implant are used.

Both the time in hospital and the time to functional recovery are less with the partial knee replacement. Patients are known to have been discharged on the day of the procedure, although most often patients are discharged on the first or second post-operative day. With traditional total knee replacement, patients seldom leave before three or four days in the hospital, and often require a stay in an in-patient rehabilitation unit.
