10 Ways Rheumatoid Arthritis Affects the Body

Rheumatoid arthritis often starts in the small joints of the hands and feet but can progress to other parts of the body. Pain is often worse in the morning and is sometimes symmetrical (you have it in both hands, for example).

HIP BI-POLAR REPLACEMENT by Krishnamoorthy k

This person who is 50 +, a known Ankylosing spondylosis patient had undergone BOTH HIP BI-POLAR REPLACEMENT else where 7 years before.

Now he had come with pain , shortening and inability to walk using his left lower limb.

On further evaluation , he was diagnosed with severe OSTEOPENIA (bone weakness) and LEFT HIP PROTRUSIO .(LEFT HIP WALL GOING INSIDE PELVIS.)

We took him for surgery.

Expected difficulty.

We have to remove the old implant without damaging the Pelvis and it was very challenging. Took 2.30 hrs for extracting the metal head alone without damaging the Pelvis.

REVISION THR was done using a special CAGE . The empty cavity produced by the sinking of head needed 2 FEMORAL HEAD ALLOGRAFT.

Total duration of surgery was 7 hours.

Patient did well. Initially mobilised without putting weight and by 6 weeks full weight bearing started.

He was also started on Medication for bone strengthening.

ALL IS WELL and he too became well,

Like Nature , life is always Beautiful ...

JOINT REPLACEMENT SURGERY - APOLLO HOSPITALS by Krishnamoorthy k

A 50 yr old person walks-in with crutches with great difficulty and takes a lot of time to sit for consultation because of severe pain .

She has been having severe pain for months and difficult walking for few years.

She is a Rheumatoid arthritis pt and after examination with X Ray's , she is diagnosed to have severe arthritis of left hip joint.

She is explained about the treatment of TOTAL HIP REPLACEMENT SURGERY.

The magnitude of pain makes her agree for surgery immediately.

An UNCEMENTED TOTAL HIP REPLACEMENT SURGERY was done the next day.

In less than 18 hours after surgery , she is made to walk full weight bearing with Walker support.

And people should see the smile and relief in her face - AND then one can understand what a well done , well indicated joint replacement surgery can do to a life.

From 2 nd day she walked without support and discharged on 3 rd day.

JOINT REPLACEMENT SURGERY is a miraculous achievement of scientific advancement and hope many more souls get benefitted with this wonderful surgery.

Thank GOD for being an instrument in this wonderful journey called life.

Life is soooooooo Beautiful ...
