Pioneering surgery: precise and personalised knee replacement aids rapid recovery


The Schoen Clinic Orthopaedic and Spinal Hospital London is an award-winning, specialist private hospital focused on providing world-class orthopaedic healthcare


T


he Schoen Clinic Orthopaedic and Spinal Hospital London works with some of UK’s


leading specialists including spinal surgeons,


orthopaedic surgeons,


musculoskeletal and sports medicine physicians, radiologists, physiother- apists and specialist nurses to give every patient access to the very best treatments and outcomes, based on the latest evidence and research. T e clinic’s multidisciplinary teams


develop personalised treatment plans for every patient, improving their experience and outcomes. T ere can be up to 20 world-class specialists at each MDT meeting, where patient progress is reviewed to ensure the highest level of care is being given at every stage of their treatment. T e facility is unique among private


hospitals in that resident consultant critical care physicians provide 24/7 medical care on the wards day and night. T ese physicians have years of experience in intensive care and are experts in providing the latest pain-relieving techniques and preventing post-operative complica- tions as much as possible. One of the clinic’s main areas of


expertise is the treatment of knee disorders, and leading the team of world-class, dedicated knee special- ists are Mr Sam Rajaratnam and Mr David Sweetnam. Each consultant is highly skilled and experienced in treating disorders of the knee, from straightforward conditions to complex injuries, providing the very latest in evidence-based care. T e team specialises in rapid recovery post-knee surgery, helping patients get back on their feet in no time. Firmly at the forefront of knee treat- ment and surgery advancement, the


Schoen Clinic Orthopaedic and Spinal Hospital is proud to be the only private hospital in the UK to off er its patients a precise and personalised knee implant using the ROSA Knee System from ZimmerBiomet. T e key bene- fi ts of this new technology is a more- rapid return to normal life, smoother and more natural functioning knee replacement, and the ability to pick up the activities of everyday life that were previously unachievable. Designed by scientists and doctors


with the understanding that one size of


implant doesn’t fi t all, the ROSA


Knee System helps your surgeon to tailor the placement of your knee implant. T is results in better soft tissue balancing, allowing you to live life with a more natural-feeling knee. Pioneering this state-of-the-art


technology at Schoen Clinic is inter- nationally renowned Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon, Mr Sam Rajaratnam. Mr Rajaratnam performs among the highest number


of successful knee replacement operations on the UK National Joint Registry each year (approximately 400 replacements annually) with excellent outcomes. “T is incredible new technology


enables accurate bone alignment along with bespoke


soft tissue balancing of knee implants, giving


patients a more naturally feeling aligned knee,” says Mr Rajaratnam. “When added to our already excel- lent rapid recovery programme and advanced post-surgical pain relieving protocols unique to the Schoen Clinic, this represents another signifi cant step in the advancement of joint replacement surgery.” T roughout the surgery, ROSA


Knee provides data about the knee. T is information, combined with the surgeon’s skill, will deliver a most precise knee replacement tailored to the body. “It’s a bit like a GPS system where


the ROSA will know and adjust accordingly if the knee is moved slightly at the critical step,” continues Mr Rajaratnam. “T is helps us ensure the surgical plan we put in place is executed as intended”. T e success of knee replacement


ROSA Knee System


surgery depends on striving for a number of small improvements in surgical and peri-operative techniques


known as ‘cumulative marginal gains’, a concept that’s familiar in elite sport and used to deliver continuous improvements in performance. T e Schoen Clinic has assembled some of the most experienced practitioners in the UK to work together as a team to deliver these continuous improve- ments in excellent care. “ROSA will complement our estab-


lished service very well, and support the clinic’s already exceptional patient outcomes,” says Mr Rajaratnam. “Ultimately, having a wide range of services to off er means we can focus on providing the very best solution for each individual patient, allowing them to get back to what they love doing, sooner.”
