Mrs. Maragatham (Name changed), a 50-year-old woman came to Ortho-One with severe pain in her right knee which affected her day to day activities. She could not walk more than 500 meters nor use the Indian toilet or sit cross-legged and had pain while at rest and at night. Evaluated and diagnosed at Ortho-One with isolated anteromedial bone osteoarthritis, she underwent partial knee replacement, performed by Dr. Yuvarajan. Full weight bearing mobilisation was carried out on the same day as the surgery. She was able to climb the stairs on the day after the surgery and discharged on the very next day. Her pain was managed with
multimodal therapy experiencing excellent post-surgery pain relief. Mrs Maragatham recovered very well with a good functional outcome. Partial Knee Replacement can be a good solution for isolated medial osteoarthritis with an added advantage of early recovery with rehab. The knee feels almost as good as before, since all the ligaments are preserved. Mr. Ganesan – HOD of Physiotherapy and his team played a major role in my recovery.
