Mathura, 11th August 2023: Doctors at Marengo Asia Hospitals, Faridabad has achieved remarkable success in bilateral total knee replacement surgeries utilizing the cutting-edge 3D Computer Assisted Navigation Technique. This revolutionary method has enabled three patients from Mathura with severe knee deformities to regain their mobility and transform their lives.
In order to highlight the advancements made in the field of knee replacement procedures, Dr Anurag Aggarwal, Director & HOD – Orthopedics & Joint Replacement Department, Marengo Asia Hospitals, Faridabad, Faridabad showcased the details of 3 Mathura patients suffering from severe knee deformity who were successfully treated using Computer navigated knee replacements, during a public awareness session in the city, today. All the three patients were also present during the session.
During the session doctor also announced the launch of their exclusive Bone and joint related OPD services which will be held in partnership with the city-based Vipin Hospital, Krishna Nagar, Mathura. Dr Anurag Aggarwal from Marengo Asia will visit on 1st and 3rdSunday of every month for primary consultations from 12 noon to 2 PM. This will allow Mathura residents to access the best-in-class experts in their vicinity and drastically cut down the travel time and cost to Metro cities for primary consultations.
Explaining the details, Dr Anurag Aggarwal from Marengo Asia Hospitals, Faridabad said “Mr Shyam Sundar Aggarwal, 62-year male presented to us with Grade 4 Osteoarthritis and a deformed knee, that severely impacted his ability to walk, climb stairs, and perform routine activities. Despite the challenges posed by his high BMI and a left-sided thigh bone fracture, our team successfully performed bilateral knee replacement using a special implant designed to correct deformities. This was made possible through the application of the 3D Computer Assisted Navigation Technique, resulting in excellent post-operative results.”
Remarkably, Mr. Agarwal's progress was exceptional, and he began walking comfortably and using support within just one month after the surgery. Unfortunately, a traumatic fall resulted in a right knee fracture, necessitating a right knee revision TKR. Even so, Marengo Hospital's surgical team swiftly performed the revision and conducted stem fixation of the tibial component. The patient was once again mobilized immediately after the surgery, a testament to the hospital's commitment to innovative and efficient medical care.
In another case, a 68-year-old male patient, Mr. Pooran Mal, was admitted with grade 4 OA and an extremely deformed knee fixed at a 50-degree flexion and varus angle of 60 degrees. This severe condition rendered Mr. Mal unable to bear weight on both lower limbs for the past 2 to 3 years, leading him to rely on walker support for daily activities. However, thanks to the expertise of the Hospital’s team, a bilateral knee replacement was performed utilizing the specialized CCK knee implant and the 3D Computer Assisted Navigation Technique.
Dr Anurag added “The surgical team at Marengo Hospital Faridabad overcame the significant challenges presented by bone loss over the inner side of the knee by applying improved implantation techniques and soft tissue release mechanisms. The outcome was outstanding, as Mr. Mal achieved full weight-bearing capacity and regained a remarkable range of motion of 0 to 130 degrees in his knee.”
The outstanding results achieved through the 3D Computer Assisted Navigation Technique at Marengo Hospital Faridabad underscore its commitment to adopting cutting-edge technology and providing the best possible care to its patients.
Dr. Anurag Aggarwal, further said "We are thrilled with the success of these bilateral total knee replacement surgeries. The 3D Computer Assisted Navigation Technique has allowed us to address complex cases that were previously deemed inoperable. Seeing our patients regain their mobility and improve their quality of life is truly gratifying."
By successfully treating patients with severe knee deformities, the hospital's surgical team has demonstrated their expertise and dedication to pushing the boundaries of modern medicine.
