AMRITSAR, Dec 11: Senior Orthopaedic Surgeon at Appollo Hospital Amritsar performed knee replacement surgery in just 20 minutes by his zero error technique on a patient.
Darshan Singh, a resident of Amritsar, had been suffering from severe knee pain since many years and being overweight added to his problem. His weight was 110 kg and the patient consulted lot of orthopaedic surgeons for his knee issues but due to his weight, none of them could assure him 100% results after knee replacement surgery.
The patient visited Dr Ranjit singh at Apollo hospital Amritsar after several recommendations from people. Dr Ranjit Singh briefed him about his innovative “zero error technique” and its advantages like being no pain, no blood loss and quick procedure of 15-20 minutes.
The patient was assured and he got admitted and operated the very next day itself. His both knees were operated upon successfully with this technique at the Apollo Hospital Amritsar. The recovery was miraculous as the next day he started walking and he was discharged on 4th day. After 10 days of surgery, the patient started walking without any support and was able to do daily chores like driving his car. By third week he was able to climb stairs and sit cross legged. Being a farmer he was able to resume his work like ploughing and driving tractor and day to day life without any hassle.
Dr Ranjit Singh, who is an eminent name in the field of joint replacement proved that severe over weight patients can benefit almost equally as normal weight patients in pain relief and physical movement. To his credit he has more than 15,000 successful knee surgeries. He was formerly working as senior consultant in Shalby Hospital Ahmedabad and Fortis Escorts Hospital Amritsar.
Obese patients suffer a lot more because of knee pains as excessive weight puts a lot of stress in the knee joint and damages it a lot. Dr Ranjit, Senior Consultant, Apollo Hospital Amritsar proved once again that being overweight can’t be a hindrance to successful joint replacement.
