Hip Replacement Surgery Results in Pain Free Life After 8 Years

• A 30-year-old man from Delhi underwent successful hip replacement surgery performed by Dr. Pankaj Walecha, a specialist hip and knee surgeon at Apollo Spectra in Delhi.
• The surgery was necessitated by excruciating pain in the patient's right hip and knee, stemming from juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) which had afflicted him for eight years, leading to reliance on painkillers.
• Following the surgery, the patient experienced a significant improvement in mobility and quality of life. He can now walk, sit, exercise, play cricket, ride a bike, and travel without any discomfort.
• Dr. Walecha observed severe pain and restricted movement in the patient's right hip during examination, confirming the presence of JRA.
• Total hip replacement surgery was chosen as the treatment option, involving the replacement of both the damaged ball and socket of the hip joint.
• The surgery, lasting nearly an hour, was followed by early mobilization and physiotherapy, facilitating a rapid recovery.
• Dr. Walecha emphasizes the importance of timely intervention in advanced arthritis cases, stressing that hip replacement surgery is often the most effective treatment.
• With over 20 years of experience and utilizing modern techniques like minimally invasive surgery, Dr. Walecha's team has conducted thousands of successful surgeries.
• The patient, Souvik Dasgupta, expresses gratitude for the surgery, which has restored his ability to engage in various activities and resume his daily routine without pain or hindrance.
