Knee replacement at PMG Hospital
TriNova Knee Replacement
TriNova is the name used at PMG Hospital for a combination of three choices in knee replacement. They are used when they suit the individual knee, not for every patient.
| Part of TriNova | What it is | Points to consider |
|---|---|---|
| Robotic assistance (ROSA Knee System) | The knee is measured during surgery, and the cutting guide is positioned according to the plan; the surgeon makes the bone cuts | Studies have shown better implant alignment on X-rays after surgery; function scores and complications have been similar to conventional surgery so far, and long-term benefits are still being studied |
| Subvastus approach | The knee is opened beneath the vastus medialis muscle, instead of through the quadriceps tendon | Aims to reduce disturbance of the thigh muscle; any advantage is mainly in the first weeks, and it may not suit every knee |
| Surgery without a tourniquet | The operation is done without a tight cuff around the thigh, so blood flow to the leg is not stopped during the operation | May reduce thigh pain after surgery; there may be slightly more bleeding during surgery, and medicines to reduce bleeding are commonly used |

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Do I need surgery for my knee, hip or shoulder pain?
Often not. Non-surgical treatment, such as medicines, physiotherapy, changes in activity or injections, is usually tried first. Surgery is advised when these have not helped after a fair trial, or when the problem clearly needs an operation, as with some fractures and injuries.
Is treatment covered by health insurance?
Medically necessary orthopaedic surgery, including joint replacement, arthroscopy and fracture fixation, is generally covered by health insurance, subject to policy terms, waiting periods and insurer approval. Ask the hospital whether cashless treatment is available with your insurer. A written, itemised estimate can be requested after assessment.
