- How the Knee came to be known as Gold knee? - Dr. Harprit Singh
The implant is not made up of gold. It has a covering which is gold in colour. The coating is by special alloy which looks like gold.
It is supposed to work 30% more longer than a conventional implants, because the friction with the polyethylene is very less & the wear of polyethylene is less. So, a gold knee done perfectly should last for 30-35 years.
- Why so popular in Orthonova ?
