Condronet technique performed successfully for the first time in pune at Saishree Hospital

-

·         Condronet technique or the Graftnet technique is a single-stage technique which can be extended to any age group

·         The procedure-related morbidity is less since it's minimally invasive, as it’s an arthroscopic surgery

·         Condronet technique is a single-stage technique and precisely the cartilage tissue is removed from the own knee & implanted on the affected side of the kneezzz

 

22-year-old Satej fell in the house and injured himself, and he went to the saishree hospital. As the pain was excruciating, Dr Neeraj Adkar (Chief orthopaedic surgeon & MD of SaiShree hospital) promptly reduced the dislocated patella to provide relief from pain. Usually, in such cases, pain relief is immediate and almost complete. However, Satej was still in pain, though not as severe as with a dislocated knee cap. 


 

Suspecting an internal injury, MRI of the injured knee was done, which showed a cartilage injury on the under surface of the knee cap. Considering the young age, Dr Adkar advised the repair of the injured cartilage. With an important exam lurking around the corner, Satej and his parents were in dubious mind about going ahead with the surgery. Usually, such cartilage injuries are treated with a procedure called Autologous Chondrocyte implantation or ACI, which is a 2 stage procedure, thus the patient has to undergo 2 operative procedures. 

 

However, Dr Adkar firmly advised the patient and concerned parents about the most advanced technique in cartilage repair and performed a single stage procedure which is known as Condronet technique or the Graftnet technique. This surgical technique was performed for the first time in Pune City, where the cartilage was harvested from the non-weight bearing area of the left knee and cartilage graft was prepared using harvested cartilage and patients own PRP which is enriched in growth factors.


 

The operating surgeon, Dr. Neeraj Adkar who is the Chief orthopaedic surgeon & MD of SaiShree hospital quotes that, “The Graft net technique is performed on patients with cartilage injury. This technique is a single stage technique and can be performed on any age group. The beauty of this procedure is that it's not age bound, provided there are no arthritic changes in the surrounding cartilage of the patient undergoing this procedure. A successful surgery was done under regional anaesthesia at Saishree Hospital and Satej was discharged within 2 days. Post discharge, Satej successfully went to give his exams one week later. Now after 6 months after the surgery, he is leading a normal life”.

 

 

Doctors took one and a half hours to perform this surgery. The surgical team was led by Dr. Neeraj Adkar. Dr. Mangesh Patil (Senior Trauma & Accident Surgeon) and Dr. Ravi Kerhalkar (Orthopedic Surgeon, Saishree hospital) were present too. Dr. Trupti Pare was the anaesthetist for the surgery.
