Success Stories

We are thrilled to share the inspiring journey of Mr. Suresh Kumar(Name changed), a 69-year-old gentleman from Ooty, who recently experienced a life-changing transformation at our hospital. For over a decade, Mr. Kumar endured debilitating knee pain caused by severe osteoarthritis, particularly exacerbated in the last 18 months. This condition significantly hindered his daily life, making simple activities like walking, squatting, and climbing stairs incredibly challenging.
Upon admission, Mr. Kumar was diagnosed with Bilateral Severe Osteoarthritis of the Knee with Valgus Deformity, a condition that severely compromises joint function. Recognizing the profound impact on his quality of life, our Chief Orthopedic Surgeon, Dr. BRJ Satish Kumar, determined that bilateral Total Knee Replacement (TKR) was the most effective solution. TKR is a highly successful surgical procedure designed to alleviate pain, correct deformity, and restore mobility by replacing the damaged knee joint surfaces with artificial implants.
Mr. Kumar underwent two meticulous and successful knee replacement surgeries. The first procedure addressed his right knee, followed by the left knee in a subsequent operation. During these procedures, advanced Biorad PS Genius implants were utilized. The surgeries involved precise steps, including the removal of damaged bone and cartilage, careful preparation of the bone surfaces, and the secure implantation of the femoral and tibial components, ensuring optimal alignment and stability. This intricate process is vital for achieving a well-functioning, pain-free joint. Our expert surgical team Dr BRJ Satish Kumar, Dr Thiaghu, Dr Suka Sekar, Anaesthesiologist Dr. Mujeebur Rahman, ensured the highest standards of care throughout both operations.
While Mr. Kumar's primary challenge was his knees, a pre-operative assessment also identified a complex urological condition, a Pan Bulbar Stricture. Under the skilled care of Urologist Dr. N. Dhinakar Babu, a Trocar Suprapubic Cystostomy (SPC) procedure was performed to address this, ensuring comprehensive care for our patient.
Post-surgery, Mr. Kumar received dedicated post-operative management, including comprehensive pain control, infection prevention, and nutritional support. A cornerstone of his recovery was the tailored physiotherapy program. This vital rehabilitation focused on gradually increasing his mobility, strengthening the surrounding muscles, and teaching him how to use his new knees effectively, starting with supervised walking with walker support and progressing through targeted exercises.
We are delighted to report that Mr. Kumar's general condition improved remarkably, a testament to his resilience and the dedicated care provided by our multidisciplinary team. He was discharged with a renewed sense of hope and the ability to look forward to a more active and pain-free life. Mr. Kumar's story is a powerful reminder of how Total Knee Replacement can dramatically enhance a patient's independence and overall well-being.
