Why Choose a Gold Knee?
For many years, Cobalt-Chromium has been the standard for knee implants. However, about 10-15% of the population suffers from metal sensitivity. The **Gold Knee (Titanium Niobium Nitride coating)** is designed specifically to address this issue.
Advantages of the Gold Implant:
- Hypoallergenic: Prevents allergic reactions in patients sensitive to Nickel or Chromium.
- Superior Hardness: The coating is significantly harder than standard metal, reducing wear and tear.
- Extended Longevity: Designed to last 25-30 years, making it ideal for younger patients.
- Improved Lubrication: Better wetting properties with joint fluid for smoother motion.
Dr. Ajay Randive recommends the Gold Knee for patients who prioritize long-term durability and those who have a history of skin allergies to artificial jewelry. The procedure follows the same advanced surgical protocol as other joint replacements but utilizes this premium implant technology.
