Alkafeel Hospital’s Orthopedic Team Performs Advanced Joint Surgery
An orthopedic and joint surgery team at Alkafeel Hospital successfully performed a total knee replacement for a 65-year-old female patient from the province of Babylon.
Dr. Ahmed Nima Al-Taie, consultant orthopedic surgeon, stated that the patient had been suffering from severe pain in both knees accompanied by significant stiffness, which severely limited her daily activities and forced her to rely on a wheelchair for mobility.
He explained that medical examinations revealed advanced osteoarthritis, accompanied by deformity and loss of bone mass in the upper portion of the femur as well as the tibia. Given the severity of the condition, total knee replacement was determined to be the most appropriate treatment option. The surgery was performed successfully.
Dr. Al-Taie further noted that the patient was able to stand and walk as early as the day following the surgery, reflecting the effectiveness of the procedure and the advanced surgical capabilities available at Alkafeel Hospital.
