Hi, this is Mrs. Babarinde, I am from Nigeria. Recently, I had my Knee joint replacement surgery in Goa. Wow what a wonderful experience I had while having my surgery followed by a leasure trip to some beautiful beaches of Goa. I love discussing this experience of being to India for my surgery. The journey from pain to relief was certainly stringent but at the end everything coolly settled down. Thanks to my medical consultant- Indian Medguru Group, who put their heart and soul in organizing my entire Knee joint replacement surgery in Goa. I remember how I have suffered from right knee pain since couple of months. The pain was really in a bad state. I could barely walk and put my legs forward. My knee was so painful that I could not drive well. The knee was hurting so much that I couldn't do anything of daily chores too. I consulted a local doctor who after a checkup suggested a Knee joint replacement surgery. I asked him to suggest some options here in Nigeria; however, he said that it was difficult to carry out my treatment there, for obvious reasons.

He cited out some people from his contacts who had their Knee joint replacement surgery in India and some other medical treatments. I met few of them who had good experience of traveling to India for their medical ailment. One among these families forwarded me the Newsletter of Medical tourism company of India Indian Medguru Group. After going through the same I decided to contact them.

At the airport we were warmly welcomed by the Indian Medguru Group executive, I was taken to the hospital immediately, without wasting my time, I had the chance of meeting the surgeon who was supposed to perform my Knee joint replacement surgery in Goa. This meeting helped me to settle down my fear and anxiety and boosted my morale, which helped me stay calm and composed during my Knee joint replacement surgery in Goa.

Once the anesthetic has been given the patient is prepared for the Knee joint replacement surgery: the damaged joint surfaces are removed. An incision approximately eight inches in length is made on the front of the knee. The damaged Knee joint surfaces are removed from all 3 bones making up the knee joint. Sometimes, depending on the surgeon, the back of the knee cap is left intact if it is not badly affected by the arthritis. The surrounding muscles and most of the ligaments are preserved. The lower end of the thigh bone (femur) is resurfaced with a metal cap. The upper end of the leg bone (tibia) is replaced with a plastic and metal implant with cement and or screws. The back of the kneecap (patella) is also resurfaced with an all-plastic implant. Highly specialized instruments are used that allow precision cutting of the bone so that the new joint fits perfectly. The type of Knee joint replacement used depends on surgeon's preference and patient requirements. Thus my entire Knee joint replacement surgery in India went smooth as the surgeon was quiet skilled who treated me.
