Restoring Mobility In A Young Nursing Officer With Advanced Hip Tuberculosis And Avascular Necrosis

In a remarkable medical achievement, Prakash Hospital, Noida, successfully performed a challenging hip replacement surgery on a 28-year-old nursing officer who had been battling tuberculosis of the hip and avascular necrosis (AVN) for over two years. This complex case underscores Prakash Hospital’s commitment to delivering premium-quality healthcare at affordable costs, ensuring hope and recovery for patients with advanced conditions.

The patient, a dedicated nursing officer, had been confined to his home for six months due to debilitating pain and limited mobility. Diagnosed with hip tuberculosis and AVN in Meerut, his condition was advanced, and several medical centers had declined to perform surgery, citing the complexity of his case. His struggle to walk, even with the aid of a walker, deeply affected both his professional and personal life.

When the patient visited Prakash Hospital four months ago, he was carefully counseled by the medical team. The surgery posed significant challenges due to the pre-existing tuberculosis, altered bone structure, and acetabular defects. The surgical team performed meticulous pre-operative planning, including CT scans, to ensure the procedure's success.

“Medicine has advanced significantly, offering solutions even for complex joint conditions like this. At Prakash Hospital, we utilise the latest techniques, including special cups and stems, 3D printing, and innovative surgical methods, to deliver exceptional results,” said Dr. Mayank Chauhan, Orthopedic Surgeon at Prakash Hospital. 

“Patients suffering from arthritis or other joint conditions should not compromise their quality of life. Early consultation and medical management can prevent disease progression, and surgical interventions, when necessary, can restore mobility and independence," he added. 

With the support of Prakash Hospital’s physiotherapy team, the post-operative phase saw remarkable progress. Within a month, the patient was walking with a stick, and within two months, he achieved pain-free mobility without any support. His continued adherence to anti-tubercular medications and regular follow-ups contributed to his excellent recovery.
