Sixty-one-year-old Mr. Hanh had been suffering from osteoarthritis in his knees for two years, causing him severe pain and difficulty walking. After consulting with Doctor Le Dinh Khoa, Head of the Department of Joint Reconstruction at Tam Anh General Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City, he underwent artificial joint replacement surgery on one knee within a month.
The doctor assessed that Mr. Hanh’s osteoarthritis had progressed to a severe stage, with almost complete cartilage destruction, leading to bone-on-bone contact, joint stiffness, limited movement, and significant pain. To determine the appropriate type of artificial joint for Mr. Hanh’s body, the doctor used advanced TraumaCad software and analyzed X-ray images.
The surgery involved removing damaged bone ends and replacing them with artificial materials to prevent bone-on-bone contact and reduce pain. Following the surgery, Mr. Hanh underwent early exercise and a multi-modal pain relief method to aid in his recovery process. He was discharged from the hospital on the 5th day post-surgery, able to walk without assistance and with minimal pain in the operated knee.
A month later, Mr. Hanh underwent a second knee replacement surgery due to successful recovery from his first operation. Doctor Khoa highlighted the importance of early detection and proper treatment for knee osteoarthritis to prevent complications and disability. The minimally invasive surgical techniques used during both surgeries were effective in treating patients like Mr. Hanh who suffer from severe osteoarthritis in their knees.
Overall, Mr. Hanh’s experience with knee replacement surgery showcased the benefits of timely intervention and personalized care for patients with severe osteoarthritis who are struggling with mobility issues caused by joint damage or disease.
In conclusion, timely intervention is crucial when dealing with severe osteoarthritis as it can help alleviate pain and restore mobility through surgical procedures such as artificial joint replacement surgery using advanced technology like TraumaCad software to analyze X-ray images accurately determining the best fit for each individual patient’s needs while minimizing risks associated with invasive procedures through expert medical care delivered by experienced professionals like Doctor Le Dinh Khoa at Tam Anh General Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City whose expertise ensures successful outcomes for their patients’ surgeries allowing them to regain their quality of life back again after recovering from illness or injury related conditions that affect their mobility negatively impacting their daily activities such as walking without assistance or experiencing minimal pain postoperatively
