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.
