Hi, We're planning for total knee replacement surgery for my father. So in the hospital, they asked whether we go with standard implants (cobalt-chromium, titanium) or high-end implant (oxonium). For oxonium they're charging 50000 extra per knee. So we would like to know whether they're any advantages of going through high-end implant and is it workable?
