A Distinguished Operation Ends the Suffering of a Septuagenarian by Replacing the Knee Joint

 
Surgeon: We Perform Joint Replacement Operations at the Hospital Periodically, Thanks to the Availability of Materials from Reliable Global Origins

A specialized medical team in orthopedic, fracture, and joint surgery at Al-Kafeel Super Speciality Hospital in Karbala announced its success in a right knee joint replacement operation for a 75-year-old female patient from Karbala, who was suffering from chronic and severe pain that hindered her normal movement.

Dr. Ihsan Faraj stated that the patient arrived at Al-Kafeel Super Speciality Hospital suffering from advanced wear and tear in the knee joint, leading to excruciating pain that prevented her from moving, standing, and sitting normally.

Faraj added that they performed a total right knee joint replacement operation for the patient, in which the damaged joint was replaced with a modern artificial one from a reliable global origin, to ensure the best results and the longevity of the new joint.

The orthopedic surgeon confirmed that the operation was crowned with complete success, and the patient immediately began the recovery phase. He pointed out that the patient’s rapid response was remarkable, as she was able to move and walk gradually the day after the operation, and had already begun physical therapy.

Faraj continued that they expect the patient to fully and normally regain her mobility within a very short period, and, most importantly, that she will move without feeling any pain, restoring the quality of life she had lost due to the disease.

Dr. Ihsan Faraj noted that Al-Kafeel Super Speciality Hospital continues to perform these complex operations on a regular basis, affirming that the success of these procedures relies heavily on the resources available. The hospital’s operating rooms are equipped with very special capabilities in terms of cleanliness, disinfection, and sterilization according to the highest global standards, in addition to the provision of surgical tools and supplies from trusted international sources, which ensures patient safety and the success of the operation.
