JAMMU, Feb 19: A flawless surgery was performed at Apollo Hospital Amritsar by Dr. Ranjit Singh, Senior Joint Replacement Surgeon with his innovative zero error technique and both knees of 90 year old patient were replaced.
The 90 years old Beant Singh Grewal from Ludhiana, who approached many doctors for his knee pain had lost hope and Dr. Ranjit guided him towards way of recovery.
The patients are often hesitant to get operated due to their health problems. They fear from the complications involved with old age and feel that results might not be significantly improvised as compared to regular patients.
On the other hand successfully implanted total knee arthroplasty increases physical activity and therapeutic walks which help in curing the knee pain and possibility of moving and doing normal chores.
Dr. Ranjit performed the surgery within 40 minutes with zero error technique which outshines the conventional methods of knee replacement in such a way that age does not become hindrance in good results.
With the short surgical time of barely 40 minutes with minimal blood loss and muscle damage, the results of surgery are remarkable and quick.
The patient resumes walk within two-three hours of surgery with almost no visible pain. The patient becomes capable of climbing chair within few days.
