Depends, knee replacement dislocation rates are not very high mostly

[koolkokaine1]

1- Excessive use of the nibbler

2- No use of computer aided surgical technology (which is a must in all North American countries now), the computer guides each step and monitors all stages of the operation for greater accuracy

3- Mask is not safe anymore, full covered suites are now being used in operations so risk of infection is not minimal

4- The doctor couldn't explain the 'effectiveness of posterior approach' and only gave the reason as 'it's in the literature' no concepts at all !

How was the operation "poor quality"? Please share. It doesn't seem that way to me.

[koolkokaine1]

Poor quality operation to say the least, out dated technology and safety measures. Try having a look at a similar operation at a north american hospital. At least keep the infra structure updated

интересно, а как царапины на качество сустава в будующем повлияют?
