What Are Gender-Specific Implants?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A gender-specific implant for total knee replacement is considered to be a prosthesis that is primarily designed for either a man\u2019s knee or a woman\u2019s knee<\/strong>. The difference between them is the size.<\/p>\n

The size of the woman\u2019s prosthesis is smaller than that of a man\u2019s so that it is properly fit into the knee. However, one thing needs to be kept in mind and that is nowadays most of the gender-specific prostheses are made keeping a woman\u2019s joint anatomy in mind because of the higher risk of them developing osteoarthritis.<\/p>\n

How are they made?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

So, gender-specific implants are made by keeping the average size data in mind. The average size data falls somewhere in between the size of a man’s or a woman’s knee prosthesis<\/strong>. This means that first, the designer chooses an average size for making the implants, and later, it becomes either smaller if it is for a woman or it becomes larger if it is for a man because it is true that the average size of a man\u2019s knee joint is larger than that of a woman\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Is it truly effective?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The main reason behind designing a gender-specific implant for total knee surgery was to increase the durability and improve the function of the patient who has been a user of it. That is why a gender-specific implant was said to be an advanced technique but, truth be told, there is no official data that can prove whether it truly makes a big difference or not.<\/p>\n

A\u00a0good orthopedic doctor in Mumbai<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>will know whether they should use it or not depending on the condition of a person\u2019s knee. Many of the\u00a0top knee replacement surgeons in Mumbai<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>are not choosing gender-specific implants for knee replacement surgery as no clear changes are seen after using them. But if a person has heard from someone about the benefits of a gender-specific knee replacement, they might discuss it with their doctor to know what is the best for them and what should be avoided.<\/p>\n

Conclusion\u00a0<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Dr. Chirag Patel is currently the leading and the\u00a0best orthopedic surgeon for knee replacement in Mumbai<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>who can help patients out in choosing what is right for them and what is not.
