07th December 2024: In a remarkable medical achievement, Prakash Hospital, Noida, successfully performed a challenging hip replacement surgery on a 28-year-old nursing officer who had been battling tuberculosis of the hip with avascular necrosis (AVN) for over two years. This complex case underscores Prakash Hospital’s commitment to delivering premium-quality healthcare at affordable costs, ensuring hope and recovery for patients with advanced conditions.
The patient, a nursing officer, had been confined to his home for six months due to debilitating pain and limited mobility. Diagnosed with tuberculosis of the hip and AVN in Meerut, his condition was advanced, and several centers declined to perform surgery, citing the complexity of the disease. His struggle to walk, even with a walker, significantly impacted his professional and personal life.
Upon visiting Prakash Hospital four months ago, the patient was counselled extensively by the medical team. The surgery was particularly challenging due to pre-existing tuberculosis, the altered bone structure, and the acetabular defect. After meticulous pre-operative planning, including CT scans, the team proceeded with surgery to ensure a successful outcome.
“Medicine has advanced significantly, offering solutions even for complex joint conditions like this. At Prakash Hospital, we utilize the latest techniques, including special cups and stems, 3D printing and innovative surgical methods, to deliver exceptional results,” said Dr. Mayank Chauhan, Orthopedic Surgeon at Prakash Hospital. “Patients suffering from arthritis or other joint conditions should not compromise their quality of life. Early consultation and medical management can prevent disease progression, and surgical interventions, when necessary, can restore mobility and independence.”
With Prakash Hospital’s physiotherapy team’s support, the post-operative phase saw a swift recovery. Within a month, the patient was walking with a stick, and within two months, he achieved pain-free mobility without any support. His continued adherence to anti-tubercular medications and regular follow-ups have contributed to his excellent recovery.
This case not only highlights the hospital’s expertise in handling complex orthopedic conditions but also reflects its philosophy of offering world-class healthcare at affordable costs. The successful outcome serves as a beacon of hope for patients suffering from advanced joint diseases and reinforces Prakash Hospital’s reputation as a center of excellence in orthopedic care.
