Dr Manuj Wadhwa, Director and Head, Department of Orthopaedics and Joint Replacements, Fortis Mohali single handedly performed 331 joint replacement surgeries in the month of March creating a benchmark in quality treatment of the joints.
Dr Wadhwa said that over the last four years, the patient friendly technology has evolved joint replacement treatment in a big way. It has not only given patients, better quality of life and ease, but has reduced post operation trauma to a large extent.
“Due to heavy intake of fat and increasing sedentary lifestyle, the north Indian population has fallen more to the knee problems. However, with the advent of customised joints and high precision achieved with computer navigated technology, the patients are in win-win situation,” said Dr Manuj, who has performed over 12,000 joint replacements in his career spanning 12 years.
Replacements of hip, knee, shoulder and elbow joints is no more a painful technique. “For me, the most rewarding moments are when I see the smile of a patient as he realises that the pain in his joints is now a thing of the past and he can go back to leading a good quality of life,” Dr. Wadhwa added.
