The revival journey of Ms. Đan, 67 years old
For 17 years, Ms. Đan has suffered persistent pain due to osteoarthritis in her left knee, which deprived her ability to walk independently and made daily activities incredibly difficult. Despite trying every available treatment method—from Western medicine and physical therapy to traditional Eastern remedies—her condition showed no improvement.
After an examination at Vinmec, she was diagnosed with severe knee osteoarthritis and was advised to undergo knee replacement surgery using 3D technology. Remarkably, after just 10 minutes of mild postoperative pain, her chronic 17-year pain was completely alleviated.
The story of Ms. Liên, 62 years old
Ms. Liên had her left knee replaced at another medical facility 4 years ago. The unpleasant experience from that previous surgery made her hesitant to undergo knee replacement for her right knee, even though both legs were painful and walking became increasingly difficult.
When she came to Vinmec, she carried the hope of painless knee replacement surgery and a quick recovery to return to normal life. With the support of modern 3D technology, she was completely reassured and happy as all her expectations were fulfilled.
3D technology - the key to gentle and precise joint replacement surgery
Vinmec utilizes advanced 3D technology in knee replacement surgeries, personalizing each patient through custom-made 3D-printed aids based on bone shape. This process helps:
- Precisely align the replacement joint with the treatment plan.
- Shorten surgery time and reduce the need for drilling into the marrow canal.
- Lower the risk of blood loss and intraoperative complications.
The accuracy and safety of this technology have brought remarkable results for both Ms. Đan and Ms. Liên.

Furthermore, knee replacement surgery at Vinmec achieves the following "Four Nos":
