Why me? ( Dr.A.K.Venkatachalam )

My goal is to restore your mobilty and flexiblity by knee replacement surgery in Chennai India. I have performed knee replacement surgery in complicated cases like obesity, renal failure, fused kneesdifficult cases and failed procedures done elsewhere.

Total knee replacement is the permanent solution in patients suffering from advanced damage in all the compartments of the knee. Those patients with advanced damage restricted to only one compartment can be treated with a partial knee replacement or an osteotomy. In  some patients with early disease, I offer Stromal vascular fraction (SVF) therapy, Cartilage repair &  joint preservationThese procedures have the potential to heal early damage and provide pain relief. I assess your eligibility for every procedure by clinical exam and investigations. In case of co morbidity, I get opinions from trusted colleagues. I communicate these to you in clear and understandable language. Based on the above you will be empowered to take the objective decision for your particular case. I don’t thrust any procedure on you without scientific evidence.

To get an appointment, contact us. I also offer these knee surgery procedures . See here for joint you in preservation procedures and here for orthobiologic treatments.

Implants

I only use those implants which are backed by evidence  and top the list in joint registries. I routinely use  high flex knee replacement. If you are a woman, you will feel more comfortable with the Gender specific knee replacement . If wear is limited to one part of the knee alone, a partial  knee replacemenwill do. If you need a knee replacement in young age, I use durable knees. I was the first to introduce the Oxinium knee in India. See the video testimonial of the first recipient here. I also introduced the Journey, Visionaire and Verilast CR knees in Chennai.

Alternatives

1. An Osteotomy can relieve pain in suitable patients with uni-compartmental arthritis.

Technological advances

1. I use the I Assist smart tool to get perfect alignment. Smart tools enable me to align implants accurately in complicated cases and young patients. There is a positive correlation between alignment and survival. I was the first surgeon to use the I Assist smart tool in Chennai.

2. When your  primary replacement has failed, I offer revision surgery. Listen to a patient story here.

Anesthesia and pain relief – The single factor preventing patients from seeking surgery is fear of pain. Our pain relief protocol minmizes post operative pain and allows early discharge. Listen to a patient story here. My patients have very little post op pain, eat normally,  walk soon and go home by the fourth day.

Support services – The hospitals have accommodation to suit all pockets. Services of all specialists are available round the clock. You begin the evaluation by consulting specialists who are going to be involved in your care. Microbiology support is available while dealing with infected joints. I work with an independent radiologist interested in musculo skeletal radiology. My dedicated physical therapist will help you regain full function with the latest protocol.

  • Dr. A. K. Venkatachalam did Stem cell therapy and PRP for my mother, Kalpana Chowdhury, right and left both knee.. After that she got much relief from the pain. The best part about him is he listenes his patient very carefully and explains everything from what actually happens to how it could be recovered. So, I strongly recommend him and wants to thank him for his valuable advice.

  • I came from Bangladesh along with my father to consult about his knee injury. I myself also had come to do a follow-up checkup on my recent pancreatitis attack. Doctor was more than happy to recommend me a good gastroenterologist and he later on also consulted with me about my CT Scan tests and reports and also gave me instructions on how to maintain a good food habit. He has really good knowledge in all medical fields and I would highly recommend him for that. Thank you doctor.
