In Hyderabad, a team of Orthopedic specialists at Gleneagles Global Hospital, Lakdi-ka-pulled by Dr. Venkata Ramana Vemuri, a number of complex joint operations were undertaken to restore normality to the life of chronic joint disease patients.
While talking to the media, Dr. Ravindranath, Chairman, Gleneagles Global Hospital said, “The treatment of complex cases at Gleneagles Global Hospital is not an exceptional case but the norm. Our disciplinary team of experts has always tried to raise the bar with a strong focus on restoring and giving patients a second shot in their life. The successful treatment of these cases reinforces our belief that we provide the needy with quality health care and are the best in what we do.”
“For some cases, complex joint damage occurred and immediate operation was required.” Said by Dr. Venkata Ramana Vemuri, Consultant Orthopaedic and Spine Surgeon at Gleneagles Global hospital.
Dr.Venkata Ramana Vemuri said, “We performed total Elbow Replacement Surgery on a Sudanese patient aged 53 who came us with a complaint that she could not use her left upper limb; she is now completely relieved of her discomfort.”
Elbow Replacement: – If your elbow has been weakened by a disease like rheumatoid arthritis or an accident, the doctor can prescribe surgery to replace the joint, so you have less discomfort and can move better. A surgeon replaces the elbow with an artificial joint consisting of two implants that connect to the bone of the neck. The implants are connected by a metal and plastic hinge. Because of this, you need to undergo Elbow Replacement Surgery. Elbow replacement procedures are a complicated procedure, in part because the elbow is fitted with numerous moving parts to control the forearm motions with great precision.
“Another survivor was the lady of age 63 who was residually paralyzed in her lower limbs. We performed a limited reconstruction of the complete knee replacement on her, and she can now walk without a caliper.” Said by Dr. Venkata Ramana Vemuri
Knee Replacement Surgery: – Knee replacement also known as knee arthroplasty or complete Knee Replacement Surgery, is a surgical procedure to resurface arthritis-damaged knee. Metal and plastic pieces are used together with the knee cap to close off the ends of the bones that form the knee joint. For someone with severe arthritis or severe knee injury, this surgery may be considered. Different types of arthritis may affect the knee joint. Osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disease that mostly affects middle-aged and older adults, may cause joint cartilage loss and adjacent bone in the knees. Rheumatoid arthritis, which causes synovial membrane inflammation and gives rise to excessive synovial fluid, can lead to pain and rigidity. Traumatic arthritis, caused by injury, can result in cartilage damage.
“The next case was a hip replacement operation with an overweight of 75 years who had already undergone two trials and which did not lead to a positive outcome. The problem of this situation was that his hip joint had no bone, and at the site, we discovered 4 broken screws inside him. He was able to walk freely the next day of the surgery, without any complications.”
Hip replacement Surgery: – Hip replacement surgery may be done historically or by using what is considered to be a minimally invasive technique. The main difference between the two treatments in the incision depth. You will get general anesthesia during regular Hip Replacement Surgery to calm your muscles and put you in a temporary deep sleep. This will keep you from feeling pain or getting any knowledge of the operation during surgery. A spinal anesthetic may be administered as an alternative to help to prevent pain. The doctor will then make a cut along the hip side and push the muscles that are attached to the thighbone to reveal the hip joint.
