Fast Track (FIFO) Joint Replacement
Fast Track Joint Replacement (FIFO) is a groundbreaking technique introduced by Dr. Vivek Bhardwaj that revolutionizes knee and hip replacement surgery. Combining minimally invasive surgery, patient-specific high-performance implants, and advanced pain control methods, this technique allows patients to walk just 3 hours after surgery, with minimal pain and blood loss.
A breakthrough in latest concepts in Knee and Hip Replacement Surgery comes with first time ever Launch of FIFO (Fast in Fast Out) Technique which combines benefits of minimally invasive surgery, patient specific high performance implants with higher flexibility, modified pain control concepts and minimal bleeding even to suit our geriatric population. With this revolutionary technique patients can walk 3 hours after surgery which has become almost painless now.
Minimally invasive tissue sparing joint replacement
A new minimally invasive procedure may help individuals who face advanced osteoarthritis of the knee and hip continuing “Keeping pace with life”. The Tissue Preserving Total Knee/Hip Replacement surgery goes beyond the general scope of conventional joint surgeries using smaller incision and special instruments to approach the knee or hip from the front with minimal trauma to the soft tissue, muscles and tendons. The specialized technique perfected by Dr Vivek Bhardwaj allows the advantage of satisfactory surgical exposure in all patients including the very obese with easy implantation of standard implants with specialized instrumentation. Patients expect a painless, functional stable joint as their first priority, but deep flexion is unquestionably next in line! With FIFO, there is almost negligible use of blood transfusions for Knee and Hip replacements, even for patients who have been operated on both knees in one sitting
Improved Pain Control Concepts
Pain during and after joint replacement surgery is the biggest hindering factor for physical and emotional recovery of patients undergoing joint replacement surgery. If the pain can be controlled then not only can it be very comfortable for the patient but also it will lead to a much faster and quicker recovery. Now the ultimate concept in best centres globally is based on reduced tissue trauma surgery and pain control using cocktail of medicines to be injected in soft tissues around the knee during surgery making patients feel more comfortable post surgery. As per Dr. Vivek Bhardwaj most of these patients are even able to raise their legs a few hours after surgery. Apart from MIS techniques also there is recently an increased demand in Asian population for patient specific high flexion implants giving higher flexibility and ability to sit cross legged or even in a few to squat post surgery. This also comes with additional durability for younger population where longevity of these artificial parts is a serious concern.
Dr. Vivek Bhardwaj’s clinic in Bhiwani offers a unique combination of minimally invasive techniques, advanced implants, and innovative pain management strategies, resulting in less bleeding and faster recovery. These modern approaches have made the clinic a sought-after destination for both local and international patients seeking expert orthopedic care in North India. The state-of-the-art infrastructure and expertise available here ensure superior outcomes for joint replacement and resurfacing surgeries.
Advantages of FIFO ( Fast in Fast Out) Joint Replacement
The overall impact of tissue preserving Knee & Hip Replacement Surgery is that there is less soft tissue sacrificed during Surgery. Post surgery pain is considerably reduced and substantially less bleeding. This technique allows faster rehabilitation, better muscle strength & early return of knee motion. Most patients can walk on day 1 after surgery. The ultimate goal is to reduce the need for hospitalization without additional resources – while maintaining a very high patient satisfaction and very few complications
After surgery recovery time is less than one third of that with conventional TKR/THR technique The Fast Track technique at Elite Orthopaedics has dramatically shortened rehabilitation and return-to-work times. Even more significantly, it has allowed many patients to take few steps within 3 hours after surgery. The fact that such procedures are now accessible is enhancing the quality of life for many patients and allowing them to lead more active lives.” It is not only the length of the incision that affects recovery. Instead, what matters even more is the amount of damage to muscles and other soft tissues during surgery. Less muscle cutting is associated with a faster, less painful recovery.
