Orthopedics patient testimonial #6 - Robotic Knee Replacement Surgery

My name is Sudhir Wahal and I am a resident of Poona (Pune), Maharashtra, for 30 years. I got this Osteoarthritis problem about 10 to 12 years back. But, I was maintaining it via using various support mechanisms lik braces, caps and all that. But, for last 3-4 years it started becoming worst. And, in the last 2 years it became so bad that my normal activity had come to a halt.

I was hesitant to go out of the house. Then I came to know from a friend of mine about Dr. Narendra Vaidya and Lokmanya Hospitals.

I approached the doctor at the moment I came to know about it.

I got such a beautiful response from hospital that I was really delighted. I was operated within 6 days of my first visit. And, after operation next day morning I almost forgot what is pain. The best part is that my legs were straightened which were bow legs and I could not believe that first.

And, on the 4th day I was climbing the stairs and on 15th day I removed the support mechanism. On 15th day they cut my stitches and I was absolutely fine. After that I didn't use any support.

On 5th or 6th day my Physiotherapist told me that I don't need physiotherapy anymore as I had OK muscles as I was exercising myself.

So, I recommend to all people to not get scared of this operation as it was very simple, fast and gives you new life.

So, don't get scared. Get yourself treated just like any other disease.

Thank you.

Orthopedics patient testimonial #5 - Robotic Knee Replacement Surgery

A 65 years old lady came to Dr. Narendra Vaidya at Lokmanya Hospital with severe pain in both the knees. Due to her condition, performing daily activities had become a challenge for her. She would find it difficult to walk without support even for her personal hygiene practices! Belonging to a farmer family, she was rendered helpless to perform both field work as well as household chores because of her severe knee problem. She needed constant assistance and support to walk even a few steps. Over a period of time, she developed bowed legs and life became miserable.

Basic Clinical Profile of the Patient:

Associated Co-Morbidity - Diabetes Mellitus & Hypertension (These conditions often contribute to delayed healing in patients).
Varus Bilateral - 15 degrees
Range of movement (ROM):
40 - 80 in the Right Leg
25 - 90 in the Left Leg

X-ray images were also referred which showed damage and deformation of the joints. Another X-ray shows the post surgery correction in knee joints.

The video above may be referred to observe how the patient is walking with immense difficulty and is heavily dependent on walking support before the surgery.

The patient's surgery was carried out on 24th March 2018 by top Orthopedic Surgeon Dr. Narendra Vaidya. She underwent Robotic Knee Replacement Surgery in both knees. Post the surgery, the bows in both her legs were corrected and the damaged joints were replaced with new prosthetic joints. This treatment was the only best solution for her severe knee joint ailment.

The video also shows the patient sharing her feedback 3 months after undergoing the Robotic Knee Replacement Surgery.

The patient started walking from the very next day post surgery. In the initial few days she took support of the walker but later just within a month's time she started walking without any support. The deformity of her legs was corrected and she could straighten them completely. She is now doing all her activities independently, travelling and doing household work too without any pain or discomfort to her knees. It is remarkable to see the wonders that the surgery has done for the patient. Watch how she is comfortably walking and climbing stairs independently soon after the surgery.

Post the Robotic Joint Knee Replacement Surgery, the patient's efficiency and strength has increased. She can now walk freely without any support, climb stairs without any pause or pain and has returned to her normal life and routine with confidence. Her quality of life has enormously improved and instead of becoming a liability, she has become an asset to her family.

Orthopedics patient testimonial #4 - Hip surgery, Osteoarthritis

This lady's name is Habiba Farah. My name is Abdullahi Mubamad Farah.

For the past 13 years she had knee problem and she stayed in her house with this sickness. We took her to the doctors and she was told that she was suffering from Osteoarthritis in hip. As soon as we were told about the disease, we planned to come to India. 2-3 times Indian doctors came to Nairobi, Kenya, then we planned to come.

The last time the doctor we saw was on 16th December, 2015, in Eastleight in Madina Mall. They referred us to India, and gave us the invitation letter. And that is the reason we came here, and Allah made easy for us to reach here.

The Osteoarthritis was the sickness and now you see she is been operated. Now we are waiting for complete recovery by Allah.

To tell you the truth, there are so many people who have same problems in family neighbours. These people can't come due to their financial problems. If they can get help they will come here.

The patient is improving and if Allah wills, then we will spread good words for you in our area.

We have not faced any problem from the hospital and they welcomed us, received us from the airport to the hospital and now we are in this hospital for 10 days. This is our situation at present.

There are some people and we would like to request the doctors to come to Nairobi every time and do counseling for sick people who need surgeries.

In Kenya, people do not know about this hospital and what facilities they have. The people should be informed about this hospital and its facilities and they should be welcomed and given good discounts and this is what I want to tell.

Orthopedics patient testimonial #3 - Knee surgery

My name is Adan Hassan and I had a problem in the knee since last 3 months. It was paining me a lot. I met with some doctors from Lokmanya Hospital who visited us in Nairobi, Kenya. Before that I had heard some news about Lokmanya Hospitals from some patients who came here previously.

I also heard the place is good and that the doctors are well experienced in the treatment of bones.

The poeple who came to Lokmanya Hospital, I asked them about the hospital and afte my discussion with them, I decided to come to Pune, Maharashtra, India. I came from Nairobi to Mumbai and they welcomed us at Mumbai Airport.

I got a surgery done by Dr. Narendra Vaidya in the knee 3 days back and now I am feeling OK, and I can walk normally. Now I can walk like before.

Back in Nairobi, Kenya, there are good doctors but this hospital is very good. People who come here, get cured with any bone problem they have. I thank the doctors who helped me to get recovered from this knee problem, and thanks once again.

Orthopedics patient testimonial #2 - Total knee replacement

मेरा नाम पियूष चतुर्वेदी है। मैं आगरा, उत्तर प्रदेश, का रहने वाला हूँ और retired government officer हूँ। मेरे घुटनों में जुलाई 2015 में problem शुरू हुई। शुरुआत में एक घुटने में हुई और 3 से 4 महीने में दुसरे घुटने में भी प्रॉब्लम हो गई। मैंने काफी इलाज किये। Alternate therapy, physiotherapy, ayurvedic  और TV में जो medicines आती हैं उनको भी मँगवाया। But nothing happened.

उसके बाद मैं मेरी बेटी के पास पूना आया था जहाँ मुझे Dr. Narendra Vaidya के बारे में मालूम पड़ा।

I consulted him. He suggested both knee operations, both knee transplant and I agreed. I was operated on 11 September 2017. After a prolonged disease, the operation gave me good relief within a fortnight.

पंद्रह दिनों के अंदर जब मेरी physiotherapy ख़त्म हो गई तो मुझे काफी आराम मिलने लगा। और मैं अपने ऑपरेशन के 1 महीने बाद यहाँ से अकेला flight से जयपुर, और जयपुर से शताब्दी एक्सप्रेस पकड़ के आगरा गया - केवल एक stick के सहारे। मैं ये कहना चाहूँगा की total knee transplant operation के बाद में आदमी की लाइफ बहुत अच्छी हो जाती है। जो मैंने फील किया।

इसके बाद में 3 महीने कनाडा रहा और वहाँ काफी घूमा। उसके बाद करीब 25 दिनों के लिए North Thailand Hills थाईलैंड में भी रहा और अच्छी तरह घूमा।  थाईलैंड का मैं बताना चाहूँगा। थाईलैंड में एक जगह है जहाँ गौतम बुद्ध का statue है करीब 297 सीढ़ियाँ चढ़ कर। मैं धीरे धीरे अपने nephew के साथ वहाँ चढ़ गया और उतर आया। I had no problem.

मैं ये कहना चाहूंगा की Dr. Vaidya is a very good surgeon, I have no complaint, I have least problems, and hospitality in the hospital is very good. I am very happy with the staff, with Dr. Vaidya and as & when I use to come to Pune, Maharashtra, I always come for a general follow up with Dr. Narendra Vaidya. He sees me without incurring any penny and suggests. So, I am very happy with Dr. Vaidya and his team.

मैं इसमें एक बात और add करना चाहूँगा की जिन लोगों को तकलीफ है, जिन लोगों के दोनों घुटने ख़राब हो चुके हैं वो इधर उधर समय waste ना कर के अपने जो total knee replacement है वो करवाएं। इसके बाद में लाइफ बहुत अच्छी हो जाती है जिसका मैंने उदाहरण दिया। लखनऊ और दिल्ली मेरा अक्सर आना जाना होता है और 350 kilometer मैं खुद car drive करी है। और आपको इसमें कोई परेशानी नहीं होगी। आपकी life बहुत अच्छी हो जाएगी क्योकि आप जो प्रॉब्लम फील करते हो उसका उपाय यही है की आप अपने total knee replacement करवाएं। अच्छे डॉक्टर से करवाएं तो उसके लिए Dr. Narendra Vaidya is a very good doctor and I will say that the team is very good. I pray God for all the best to Dr. Vaidya and his team.

Thank you very much.

Knee replacement surgery changes the way you walk!

Watch the results of a highly successful robotic knee replacement surgery performed by Dr. Narendra Vaidya, the pioneer of this treatment in India.

The surgery was carried out at Dr. Vaidya's super specialty chain of Lokmanya Hospital, Pune.

The patient was looking for a solution to her severe knee pain and approached Lokmanya Hospital, the most trusted name for orthopedic treatments in Pune. Her knee joints were heavily damaged and she found it difficult to walk as there was constant pain and discomfort in her knees. Because of this condition, her movements became restricted and she would be unable to carry out her daily routine chores comfortably. As the conditin worsened, her limp became more and more pronounced.

Watch the patient struggling to walk before she underwent surgery.

As visible, the patient is not in a position to walk normally and is heavily limping on her right knee.

In such a condition one is at high risk of stumbling and getting injured.

Dr. Narendra Vaidya on complete diagnosis of her condition advised Robotic Knee Replacement Surgery for both the knees. The patient underwent the surgery at Lokmanya Hospital in Nigdi and as expected, the surgery was a huge success! The damaged knee joint was replaced with world class prosthetic joint. Moreover this type of surgery involves fewer cuts and lesser blood loss and as a result of which the recovery is faster.

Watch the patient's walk post her joint replacement surgery.

A remarkable difference in the patient's walk and gait can be seen post the robotic knee replacement surgery!

There is not limping at all and the patient is independently walking without any additional support. Throwback to her condition before she underwent surgery, the patient can now return to her normal life and routine as a healthy, independent and fearless person.

If you are suffering from persistent and severe knee pains and are fearing surgery, put your fears aside. Dr. Narendra Vaidya is among the top orthopedic surgeons in the country and the pioneer of Robotic Knee Replacement Surgery in India.
