  • The press release announces the launch of FT‑3D Knee Resurfacing, an AI‑mapped, drill‑free titanium alloy implant technique developed by Dr. Tarandeep Singh Gill, a Germany‑trained orthopaedic surgeon at Max Super Speciality Hospital, Mohali.
  • FT‑3D replaces only damaged cartilage, avoids drilling into the femur, and enables patients to walk on the day of surgery and resume normal activities within three to four weeks.
  • India has more than 150 million (15 crore) osteoarthritis sufferers; approximately 250,000 knee replacements are performed annually, but fear of invasive surgery delays many procedures.
  • The technology has generated increased medical‑tourism enquiries from the United Kingdom, Canada and the Middle East, positioning Chandigarh as a potential alternative hub for joint‑surgery tourism.
