Why get a Total Knee Replacement that’s “standard,” when you could get one customised to your anatomy, movement style, and personal needs? MSK Doctors (03300010048) is offering TWIS-TKR, a new technique that will help you recover faster, move smoother, and feel better.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like if a prosthetic, and a surgical procedure, were fully customised to the anatomy, needs, and movement patterns of the individual?
It may seem like a dream, but it's a lot closer than you think - in clinical trials, this new technique showed improvement in practically every category, including patient satisfaction. Find out more at https://mskdoctors.com/treatments/twis-tkr
It's called the TWIS-TKR, or Turn With Intelligent Stability, Total Knee Replacement.
For the straight facts, you can get all the details from my source, Prof. Paul Lee, the founder of MSK Doctors in London. He's a trusted hip and knee specialist, with a focus on minimally invasive techniques, and customised, regenerative medicine.
So what is it, in short, that makes this new technique so amazing?
It could be that patients achieve enhanced stability, mobility, and a quicker return to normal activities compared to traditional knee replacements. Or it could be that, finally, they've got a prosthetic customised to their own body, instead of something standard, and "off the shelf."
Those are just words though, let's talk facts. How does the TWIS-TKR hold up in clinical trials?
In this article, I'll just share the results - but if you want to see the full details, you can find all the studies I mention on the MSK Doctors website, which I'll link below.
In short, the TWIS-TKR procedure shows several benefits over traditional knee replacement options, including improved range of motion, joint stability, and movement that more closely mimics natural knee motion. In tests comparing how soon patients could return to their normal activities, the TWIS-TKR procedure reduced the recovery time significantly, for normal walking, as well as climbing stairs.
Studies aren't everything though, right? Let's try something a little closer to home - how do people feel about their new knees, do they like them?
To be honest, I can't track down dozens of patients and ask - because of medical confidentiality - but we can look at some studies on patient-reported outcomes. In the studies I've found, most folks feel less post-surgical pain or discomfort than with traditional techniques.
It's hard to say exactly what causes this, but I believe it's largely due to the inclusion of Motion Assisted Intelligence (MAI), an AI system that helps to customise the entire surgical process.
Using MAI, the surgical team can optimize the total knee replacement procedure to your unique anatomy and needs, by analyzing large amounts of data about your movement style, anatomy, and desired outcomes. This technique has also been shown to shorten the recovery process, leading to a faster return to daily activities, and an improved quality of life - which you'll know, is very important if you've been waiting for a total knee replacement.
So what about the long-term? Are you going to need a new knee every year or two to keep up?
Thankfully, the answer is no. In fact, research suggests that over long-term use, the custom rotational alignment can provide more natural knee function, with reduced wear and tear. So your advanced AI-optimised knee should last longer than any standard option.
You should feel back to normal sooner, too, because TWIS-TKR uses a proprietary pain relief protocol that combines medication, therapy, and patient education to ensure you have a smooth recovery and reintegration into your daily activities. It only makes sense, why use such a highly customised surgery and prosthetic, just to apply a standard pain management and recovery process?
This excerpt from the new MSK Doctors report summarizes it well, “These advanced features make TWIS-TKR a leading choice for surgeons and patients alike, promising improved functionality, faster recovery, and enhanced patient satisfaction.”
If you think TWIS-TKR is what you've been waiting for, then I have some fantastic news. You don't have to wait decades, or even years, for this technology to become available. It's an option you can choose, right now - if you go to the right clinic.
My advice is to schedule an appointment with Prof. Paul Lee, a London-based TWIS-TKR specialist. You don't need a referral from your GP, and he doesn't believe in waiting lists, so it's as easy as calling or booking online. You can schedule yourself, anytime, for consultation, diagnosis, or treatment, and it's easy.
