MicroPort Orthopedics Inc., a leading global medical device company headquartered in the U.S., has announced the launch of its flagship product, the Evolution® Medial-Pivot Knee, in India. The innovative knee implant was successfully used for the first time at Aster Hospital, Whitefield, Bengaluru, in a total knee replacement procedure performed by Dr. Kumardev Arvind Rajamanya, Head of Orthopaedics and Lead Consultant.
The recipient of the implant was a 65-year-old retired businessman suffering from severe osteoarthritis, resulting in chronic knee pain and restricted mobility. Dr. Rajamanya opted for the Evolution® Medial-Pivot Knee due to its strong clinical performance and design advantages, which include enhanced flexion stability, anatomically guided motion, and a wear-resistant structure.
“I’ve had the opportunity to use the Evolution® Medial-Pivot Knee extensively in a short span and have seen impressive results,” said Dr. Rajamanya. “Its design closely mimics the natural motion of a healthy knee, helping patients achieve a more natural range of movement and overall better functional outcomes.”
Dr. Mukesh Parmar, Director and General Manager for South Asia at MicroPort Orthopedics, added, “We are dedicated to introducing groundbreaking solutions that truly improve patient care. The Evolution® Medial-Pivot Knee represents our commitment to advancing orthopaedic treatment and enhancing quality of life for patients.”
Globally, the Evolution® Medial-Pivot Knee has shown outstanding clinical outcomes, with a 98.8% survivorship rate over 17 years and a 95% patient satisfaction rate. With over 25 years of proven clinical use, the Medial-Pivot line has been implanted in more than 1 million patients across 70 countries.
The Bengaluru patient has made a smooth and successful recovery, with noticeable improvements in mobility and pain relief. This outcome highlights both the advanced design of the Evolution® Medial-Pivot Knee and the surgical expertise involved in its implantation.
The product’s launch in India marks an important step for MicroPort Orthopedics as it continues to expand its global footprint and reinforce its leadership in orthopaedic innovation.
