Dr. Walecha, Director of Savordaya Hospital, has helped his patient, Sourav Chatterjee, to get back on his feet within 3 hours of total hip replacement surgery. Sourav Chatterjee from West Bengal was suffering from Ankylosing Spondylitis and couldn't walk for the past four months, which was a painful situation for him. Dr. Walecha in Faridabad, performed DAA (Direct Anterior Approach), a minimally invasive therapy using hip navigation advanced technology that offers real-time guidance to position the artificial joint more correctly. After pre-surgical planning and detailed checks, the total hip replacement was performed with precision, and Sourav was able to stand after three hours of his surgery and walked properly with support.
Dr. Pankaj said that patients suffering from spondylitis, especially those suffering from spinal fusion, total hip replacement is the best option as it helps to position the patient for surgery and restores the limb length. The DAA technique helps doctors to work through the intermuscular plane that preserves soft tissues. This computer-assisted technology allows doctors to achieve proper implant positioning and proper limb length, which offers long-term mobility. Sourav said that he couldn't move and it was extremely painful before the surgery. After surgery within 3 hours, it was possible for him to walk with support without any pain, and he showed improvement in his mobility. With physiotherapy, Sourav will get back his confidence and can continue his daily activities, says Dr. Walecha.
