The patient, weighing 110 kg, Niranjan Singh, who is a famous transporter, hailing from Nanak Nagar (Jammu), was scared to go for surgery because of his weight. After getting to know about the miraculous Zero Error technique, he readily agreed for the same. He underwent both knee replacement surgery simultaneously with Zero Error technique.
His surgery was done flawlessly and with minimal blood loss by Dr Ranjit Singh at Ivy Hospital Amritsar. The patient started walking mere 2 hours after surgery which was unbelievable for the entire family. The next day patient started walking comfortably without support, with no visible pain. These miraculous results after knee replacement are possible only with Zero Error technique.
Dr Ranjit Singh said people often get fancied by Robotic knee replacement which sounds futuristic and more technologically driven. But the fact remains that manual knee replacement has a success rate of 98% in 10 years and 95% in 20 years. With such a high success rate and clubbing with “Zero Error technique” it enjoys the minimum recovery benefits with several cost benefits too.
He said the robotic knee surgery puts an extra cost to the patients and is more time consuming which is directly related to more complications whereas Zero Error technique has minimum surgical time of 20 minutes from start to finish.
“With the short surgical time and minimal muscle damage, the results of surgery are remarkable and quick. The patient resumes walk within two-three hours of surgery with almost no visible pain. The patient becomes capable of climbing stairs within few days,” Dr Ranjit added.
