JAMMU, Nov 2: A 60 year-old woman from Jammu was successfully treated by Dr Ranjit Singh, Senior Joint Replacement Surgeon by performing Revision Knee Replacement on her.
The woman came to Dr Ranjit complaining of pain in the right knee and the inability to walk properly. After a thorough examination and X-ray, she was diagnosed to have complications with the existing knee replacement. The patient had visited many doctors before consulting Dr Ranjit but most of them could not diagnose the actual problem.
Finally, the patient was advised Revision Knee Replacement (TKR), which is a complex and rare surgery in which the original knee implant is removed and a new knee implant is fixed. As the patient agreed, the surgery was performed which took 4 hours to complete. Now, the patient has no problem and she is able to walk and perform her daily chores quite easily. By performing successful Revision TKR, Dr Ranjit Singh has set a benchmark as it is one of the most complex and rare surgeries.
Pertinent to mention here that Dr Ranjit Singh has received many awards and felicitations for his research in Joint Replacement surgeries. He has received many awards for Best Surgeon and the unique and innovative “No Error Technique” in Knee Replacement. He is the only surgeon in entire region who performs partial knee replacement.
Having experience of more than 15 years and currently working with renowned hospitals like EMC and Nayyar Hospital, Dr Ranjit holds record of performing more than 10,000 successful joint replacement surgeries.
