Unlocking Medical Marvels
The author introduces a patented trio of innovations – FIFO, NKR, and the latest addition, Day Care Arthroplasty, incorporating Robotics and Augmented Reality for precision and sizing.

Avoiding tourniquets, drains, and catheters further reduces infection risks and speeds up healing.
Rapid Recovery After Joint Replacement Surgery
The emphasis is not on rushing but on ensuring a smooth recovery. The technique involves a patient-centric, organized clinical pathway, from pre-operative consultation to post-operative recovery.
