JAMMU, Sept 15: Renowned Joint Replacement Surgeon Dr Ranjit Singh created a record by performing knee replacement surgery in just 20 minutes on an 80-year- old patient.
Kulwinder Kaur, hailing from Khanna (Punjab) was suffering from crippling osteo arthritis of both knees but was very scared of surgery. After consulting Dr Ranjit Singh and taking positive feedbacks from other elderly patients operated by Dr Ranjit Singh, Kulwinder Kaur made up her mind for surgery.
The Surgery was performed at Ivy Hospital Amritsar, in mere 20 minutes by Dr Ranjit’s ‘Zero Error’ technique. The patient was made to walk few hours after surgery without any pain and by second day patient could walk independently without any help and could go to washroom independently.
Seeing such miraculous results of ‘Zero Error’ technique of knee replacement, the Patient was repenting why she wasted so many years without surgery and gave message to all other patients to get maximum benefit out of Dr Ranjit’s exemplary surgical skills.
Dr Ranjit Singh, who has experience of 15000 surgeries in 15 years, said that such fast track recovery is possible only with his special innovative ‘Zero Error’ technique. He said the conventional technique of knee replacement is very cumbersome for the patient and involves lot of bleeding and muscle cutting which leads to slow recovery and patient has to go through lot of pain and misery.
Presently, Dr Ranjit Singh is attached to Ivy Hospital Amritsar and previously he served as Senior Joint Replacement Surgeon at Fortis Hospital Amritsar, Apollo Hospital Amritsar and Shalby Hospital Ahmedabad.
