🌟 Inspiring Recovery Story! 🌟

Happy to share the journey of an 81-year-old lady who recently underwent robotic knee replacement surgery. 💙

Just 15 days post-surgery, she is already walking comfortably and living pain-free with a big smile on her face. 🙌✨

Age is often seen as a barrier, and many people fear undergoing surgery at 80+ years. But with advanced robotic technology, surgery has become safer, more precise, and faster in recovery – giving elderly patients a chance at a pain-free, active life.

This story is a reminder that it’s never too late to choose a better quality of life. 💪❤️

🙏 A challenging case, a gratifying outcome!

A 60-year-old mother of a pulmonologist came to us for a routine knee replacement, as advised by many. But during examination, I suspected something more — it turned out to be tuberculosis of the knee.

We started her treatment with a joint washout and an antibiotic spacer, followed by TB medications. Unfortunately, during her recovery, she had a fall and sustained a low distal femur fracture, on an already stiff joint.

With her ejection fraction at 30%, she wasn’t fit for multiple surgeries, and fixing the fracture alone wouldn’t guarantee union. I had to plan a single definitive surgery — a distal femur replacement with knee replacement.

Post-surgery:
✅ No significant pain
✅ Able to walk
✅ Knee bending well

A complex journey, but the smile on her face now says it all. 🙌

🏥 Historic in Joint Replacement Surgery!

We’ve set a new record in orthopaedic history by successfully performing a robotic knee replacement surgery on a 17-year-old boy — making him the youngest patient ever to undergo this advanced procedure. 🤖🦵

This remarkable achievement has now been published in the Journal of Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research — a proud moment for our team and a significant step forward in the future of joint replacement.
