A 54-year-old woman, unable to walk or sit for almost a decade due to osteoarthritis, has been cured after undergoing Golden Knee Replacement surgery at a city hospital.

Aashish Arbat, senior orthopaedic surgeon, who performed the surgery, said Gold Knee implant can be the solution for people requiring knee replacements at a young age or for the obese. Speaking about the Gold knee-blended transplant, Arbat said: ‘Vitamin E improves the material’s strength while preventing polyethylene degenerating oxidation.’ ‘This helps the material hold up to the higher expectations of today’s active patient. E-plus is the first blended vitamin E polyethylene, with the vitamin E homogeneously blended directly into the resin,’ Arbat added. (Read: Could you be at a risk of osteoarthritis?)
