JAMMU, Oct 28: Renowned knee replacement surgeon Dr Ranjit Singh has successfully performed knee-replacement of a 90-year-old patient with health complications.

The patient belongs to a high profile family from Jammu and has been delaying the surgery due to complications involved because of his age.
When the patient consulted Dr Ranjit Singh, he was assured that surgery can be life changing for him. The patient underwent knee replacement surgery by Dr Ranjit Singh at KD Multi-speciality Hospital, Jammu. Due to Dr Ranjit’s innovative “Zero Error technique “, the recovery of the patient was quick and he resumed walking within 2 days.
Dr Ranjit Singh who is Oxford (UK) trained surgeon and has more than 16000 successful surgeries to his credit with 100% success rate, explains that such results are possible with this commendable technique as it requires minimal cut and nearly no blood loss. He has collaborated with KD Multi-speciality Hospital, Jammu.
The goal of total knee replacement is to relieve pain, improve the quality of life, and improve knee function.
