Background: Orthopedic Excellence in Latin America

In recent years, Latin America's orthopedic implant market has grown rapidly, with increasing demand for knee replacement surgeries driven by aging populations and joint degeneration. Hospitals in Mexico, such as Poza Rica Veracruz Hospital Privado, have actively introduced advanced arthroplasty systems to enhance patient outcomes and surgical precision.

Case Overview: Mexico Total Knee Arthroplasty

Recently, at the Poza Rica Veracruz Hospital Privado in Poza Rica Veracruz, Mexico, Ignacio Vives Ponseti and his team successfully completed an artificial knee replacement surgery. The patient recovered well after the surgery.

After a comprehensive assessment of the patient's examination results and physical condition, Director Ignacio Vives Ponseti believed that total knee replacement was the most suitable surgical option.

Case Introduction

Patient: Female, Antonia Diaz, 67 years old

She had right knee discomfort and obvious pain when walking in the past six months. After examination, the right knee joint was found deformed, with a snapping sound during movement and significant swelling of the joint capsule, confirming limited squatting and difficulty standing for long periods.

The patient's knee joint alignment was restored, and joint function improved significantly after surgery. Postoperative follow-up showed stable implant positioning and excellent range of motion recovery.

Surgical Summary

Director Ignacio Vives Ponseti is very satisfied with the knee joint products provided by Maimari. Maimari knee joint products use an oblique osteotomy of 5° anterior condyle and 1° posterior condyle, maximizing bone preservation and reducing the possibility of anterior notch formation. This design distributes prosthetic pressure evenly, facilitating bone cement fixation.

The condylar adopts a gradual transition curve instead of the traditional walking curve, increasing contact between the femoral condyle and tibial insert, reducing wear, and ensuring joint balance and mobility.

The tibial tray is made of high-polished cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy, allowing smooth insert installation and minimizing long-term wear.

The integrated knee replacement kit features finely designed tools and coordinated instruments, ensuring smooth surgical operation.
