Hip and knee replacement surgeries are being performed for over 36 years now.  The latest development in this field has been the development of Reduced Tissue Trauma Surgery(RTTS), a term coined by renowned joint replacement surgeon, Dr. CS Ranawat from the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York.

With this technique, pain after surgery is minimal. Patients are in a position to walk comfortably with minimal pain within 24 hours of surgery. Most patients go home within 3 days of surgery.  Other proven benefits of this technique include less blood loss (and thus, minimal need for blood transfusion) and lesser incidence of blood clots.

Recently, Dr. Ranawat has opened a branch of his center at the Primus Ortho and Spine Hospital in New Delhi.
