JAMMU, Mar 29: In a remarkable display of surgical expertise, Dr Ranjit Singh, Senior Joint Replacement Surgeon at IVY Hospital, Amritsar, has successfully performed a rare knee replacement surgery on 80-year-old Roshan Lal Chachan, a resident of Hanuman Garh, Rajasthan.
The patient, requiring bilateral knee replacement due to severe wear and tear, had been unable to find a surgeon who could guarantee a satisfactory outcome due to his age-related health issues, including hypertension and diabetes.
Despite the complexities of the case, Dr Ranjit Singh accepted the challenge and executed the surgery with precision. What is typically a three-hour procedure was completed within just one hour, significantly reducing the risks associated with prolonged surgery, such as major blood loss, knee bone fractures, and infections. This rapid execution was made possible by Dr Singh’s innovative “Zero Error” technique, which ensures a painless, bloodless, and highly successful knee replacement.
Following the surgery, Roshan Lal Chachan made a swift recovery, managing to sit cross-legged within days and resuming his daily activities within weeks. The successful outcome underscores Dr Ranjit Singh’s expertise in joint replacement surgery and his ability to manage high-risk cases with remarkable efficiency.
With over 15 years of experience and a record of performing more than 20,000 knee replacement surgeries, Dr Ranjit Singh has set a benchmark in the field. His achievements have been recognized with multiple awards, including accolades for his pioneering “Zero Error” technique. His dedication to advancing joint replacement surgery and commitment to exceptional patient care have cemented his reputation as a leading orthopedic specialist in the medical community.
