  Genius / Genuin Total Knee System The Genius / Genuin Total Knee System is a cemented total-knee-replacement implant from Biorad Medisys’ Orthovasive portfolio, intended to replace damaged femoral, tibial, and optionally patellar joint surfaces. The system has been marketed since the mid-2010s and received U.S. FDA 510(k) clearance as a Class II semi-constrained cemented knee prosthesis in May 2021. Implant design The FDA-cleared Genius/Genuin configuration is a posterior-stabilized (PS) design using cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (CoCrMo) femoral and tibial components and UHMWPE polyethylene for the tibial insert and patella. It is designed exclusively for cemented fixation; Biorad describes a single-radius geometry, polished tibial tray, dovetail insert-locking mechanism and high-flexion geometry permitting up to 155° of flexion under the system's design specifications. Components and sizing The system includes a femoral component, tibial tray, polyethylene tibia...

Chronic knee pain affects far more than your joints. It can limit how you walk, work, sleep, and spend time with the people you care about. For many people, knee replacement surgery is the step that brings back comfortable movement and independence, whether they are athletes, keen walkers, or simply want to get through the day without pain. What Is Knee Replacement Surgery? Knee replacement, also called total knee arthroplasty, is an orthopedic procedure in which a surgeon removes the damaged surfaces of the knee joint and replaces them with artificial implants made of metal and medical-grade plastic. The new joint is designed to glide smoothly, reducing the friction and inflammation behind much of the pain. Surgery is usually recommended when injury or disease has damaged the knee and non-surgical options, such as medication, injections, physical therapy, and activity changes, no longer give enough relief. Orthopedic implant providers such as Biorad Medisys support this field with j...

Hip replacement is no longer about choosing a single standard implant. Every patient has different anatomy, and surgeons need to consider factors such as implant fit, fixation, materials and the way different components work together. This is particularly relevant in India, where variations in hip and femoral anatomy can influence implant sizing and design. Why Implant Design Matters? A total hip replacement generally includes four main components: a femoral stem, femoral head, acetabular liner and acetabular cup. Together, they recreate the hip joint and provide the required fixation and movement. Advanced hip systems are therefore moving towards greater choice in implant geometry, materials and configurations rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach. Materials also matter. Titanium alloys are commonly used for femoral stems, while cobalt-chromium, ceramic and highly cross-linked polyethylene are used in different component and bearing combinations. Where Biorad Medisys Fi...

If you or someone you love is heading into a knee, hip or fracture surgery, you’ve probably spent more time than you’d like thinking about what, exactly, is going into your body. It’s a fair thing to wonder. An orthopaedic implant isn’t a gadget you swap out next season. It’s something you’ll walk, climb stairs, play with grandchildren and sleep beside for years to come. The good news is that India has become one of the most capable places in the world to make these devices. A growing and ageing population, more people living with arthritis and osteoporosis, and better awareness of modern treatment have all pushed the orthopaedic implant industry forward. Behind every successful surgery sits a manufacturer who has spent years getting the details right. So let’s meet some of them. This guide walks you through ten well-known orthopaedic implant companies in India, what each is known for, and, just as importantly, what to look for in a company you can trust. A quick note before we begi...
