Dr. Sacheen Hasmukh Mehta, MD

High-Tech Knee Replacement Speeds Recovery
In September of 2007, while pursuing better techniques for his patients, Dr. Mehta was among a few select surgeons in the U.S. to begin performing a minimally-invasive, state-of-the-art, Custom-Fit knee replacement procedure right here in North Texas. Dr. Mehta’s results were far superior to older methods and many of his patients enjoyed the quicker and less painful recovery as a result.
As part of the new technique, data from a specialized MRI scan was fed into a computer which created a 3-D virtual model of the patient’s knee. This computer model was then used to simulate the specific bone removal, alignment, sizing and ligament balance of the planned knee replacement. Custom-made templates or cutting guides were fabricated with according to the specific anatomy of each individual patient’s knee. These templates were used by Dr. Mehta to reproduce the precise bone cuts in the real patient’s knee at the time of surgery.
This MRI …guided technique of knee replacement allowed Dr. Mehta to remove less bone, cut less muscle, retain important ligaments, restore a more natural anatomy, and cut the procedure time in half to reduce infection risk, blood clot risk, and anesthesia risks.
As a result Dr. Mehta’s patients recovered faster, with less pain, and less blood loss. In addition, patients benefitted from shorter incisions, and reduced hospital stays.
Baylor Regional Medical Center at Plano and Richardson Regional Medical Center, where the surgeries were performed, both issued press releases. Dr. Mehta’s technique was featured in a CBS 11 TV news story and MD News magazine ran a feature article on the advancement which was distributed to DFW area physicians. To date Dr. Mehta is the most experienced Custom-Fit knee replacement surgeon in the DFW area.
Since pioneering the advancement, Dr. Mehta has continued to gain experience and refine the technique to improve patient experiences with knee replacement surgery. In October of 2009 yet another major advancement helped to further refine the technique. Specifically MRI images of the hip and ankle were included in the specialized knee MRI scan to incorporate the alignment of the entire leg into the computer simulation. Dr. Mehta is currently on the forefront of this enhanced technique which continues to benefit many people in need of rapid, accurate restoration of their ability to walk comfortably.
Additional advancements in Dr. Mehta’s knee replacement technique include:
Advanced pain management techniques utilizing multiple pain relieving modalities to significantly improve patient comfort after surgery, which greatly facilitates rehabilitation
Aggressive rehabilitation beginning immediately after surgery. Most patients are able to walk the same day of the surgery.
Improved infection prevention techniques
Improved blood clot prevention techniques
Blood loss reduction and lower rates of blood transfusion
