ALCOHOL DESTROYED HIS HIPS AT 30, WE GAVE HIM A NEW PAIR !!

A 30-year-old patient came to us with severe pain in both hips, struggling even with basic daily activities like walking and sitting.
The cause? Avascular Necrosis (AVN) of both hip joints — a condition where the blood supply to the bone is disrupted, leading to bone collapse.

In this case, long-term alcohol use was a major contributing factor.

🔍 What was the problem?
Chronic alcohol consumption can damage blood vessels supplying the hip joint, eventually causing AVN. When both hips are involved, it can be devastating—especially in such a young patient.

🦴 The Solution: Bilateral Hip Replacement
Given the advanced stage of damage, bilateral total hip replacement surgery was performed. This procedure replaces the damaged hip joints with artificial implants, relieving pain and restoring mobility.

📸 What you see in the images:
• Pre-operative X-rays: Collapse and deformity of both femoral heads
• Post-operative X-rays: Well-aligned artificial hip joints with restored joint space

✅ Outcome:
The patient is now walking comfortably, pain-free, and has returned to an active lifestyle.

⚠️ Take-Home Message:
AVN can affect young individuals, especially with risk factors like alcohol abuse. Early diagnosis can sometimes save the joint—but in advanced cases, joint replacement offers excellent results.

💬 If you or someone you know has persistent hip pain, don’t ignore it. Early evaluation can make all the difference.

TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT :
Before and After -

These X-rays show the transformation after knee replacement surgery.
In one xray, the knee joint is damaged due to arthritis—cartilage is worn out, causing pain, stiffness, and difficulty walking.
In other xray, the joint has been replaced with a prosthesis, restoring alignment and smooth movement.

What does this mean for patients?
✔️ Significant pain relief
✔️ Improved mobility
✔️ Better quality of life

Knee replacement is recommended when conservative treatments no longer provide relief. With proper rehabilitation and care, most patients return to their daily activities with confidence.
Take the first step towards pain-free movement.

इन X-rays में घुटने की सर्जरी से पहले और बाद का फर्क साफ देखा जा सकता है।
पहले वाले X-ray में घुटने का जॉइंट आर्थराइटिस की वजह से खराब हो चुका है—कार्टिलेज घिस गया है, जिससे दर्द, सूजन और चलने में तकलीफ होती है।
सर्जरी के बाद वाले X-ray में घुटने को कृत्रिम जोड़ (इम्प्लांट) से बदला गया है, जिससे जॉइंट फिर से सही तरीके से काम करता है।

इसका मरीजों के लिए क्या मतलब है?
✔️ दर्द में काफी राहत
✔️ चलने-फिरने में सुधार
✔️ जीवन की गुणवत्ता बेहतर

जब दवाइयों और फिजियोथेरेपी से आराम नहीं मिलता, तब नी रिप्लेसमेंट एक प्रभावी समाधान होता है। सही देखभाल और एक्सरसाइज के साथ मरीज सामान्य जीवन में वापस लौट सकते हैं।
दर्द से राहत की ओर एक कदम बढ़ाइए।

TOTAL HIP REPLACEMENT AFTER ACETABULUM FRACTURE SURGERY :

Years after acetabular fracture fixation, many patients begin to experience:
✔ Persistent hip pain
✔ Stiffness and difficulty walking
✔ Limping
✔ Trouble sitting cross-legged or climbing stairs

This is often due to post-traumatic hip arthritis, a common late complication after acetabular plating.

When pain starts limiting daily life, Total Hip Replacement (THR) can restore mobility and significantly improve quality of life.

Why Does Arthritis Develop After Acetabular Plating?
1. Even with excellent fracture fixation:
2. Cartilage damage at the time of injury
3. Subtle joint incongruity
4. Avascular necrosis
5. Progressive degeneration
can lead to secondary arthritis over time.

Total Hip Replacement: A Reliable Solution
In experienced hands, THR after acetabular plating can:

✅ Relieve chronic pain
✅ Correct deformity
✅ Restore limb length
✅ Improve walking ability
✅ Allow return to active lifestyle

Special surgical planning is required to manage:
1. Retained hardware
2. Bone defects
3. Altered anatomy
4. But outcomes are highly rewarding when done meticulously.

Don’t Ignore Persistent Hip Pain
If you had acetabular fracture surgery in the past and are now struggling with hip pain, stiffness, or reduced mobility — evaluation may help you regain your independence.

Early consultation leads to better planning and better outcomes.
From pain to freedom !!

ROBOTIC KNEE REPLACEMENT VS SKILLED SURGEON :
Overhype or Facts ?

Studies consistently show that long-term outcomes of Total Knee Replacement depend more on the -
Surgeon’s skill,
Planning, and
Soft-tissue balancing.

Not only on whether a Robot is used !!

A well-performed conventional TKR by an experienced surgeon delivers:
✔ Excellent pain relief
✔ Natural knee movement
✔ Long-lasting implant survival
✔ High patient satisfaction

Robots are tools — but healing happens in the hands of a good surgeon.

Technology assists.
Skill decides.
Results follow.

ELBOW ARTHROSCOPY - 1st Time in Prayagraj

26 वर्षीय इस युवक को 10 साल पहले लगी चोट के बाद से दाईं कोहनी में दर्द और सूजन थी तथा कोहनी का पूरा मूवमेंट नहीं हो पा रहा था ।
अन्यत्र काफी इलाज करवाने के बाद भी आराम नहीं मिल रहा था।

CT कराने पर यह कन्फर्म हुआ की उसकी कोहनी के अंदर हड्डी का एक छोटा टुकड़ा (Loose Body) फंस रहा है, और उसकी वजह से जोड़ की चिकनी सतह को भी क्षति पहुंची है (Arthritis).

डॉ अनुराग अग्रवाल द्वारा आर्थोस्कोपी (दूरबीन विधि) से इस Loose Body को आसानी से निकाला गया जिससे की मरीज को तत्काल लाभ मिला।

आमतौर पर आर्थोस्कोपी, घुटने और कंधे की लिगामेंट इंजरी में, निरंतर ही की जाती है, परंतु कोहनी के जोड़ का दूरबीन विधि द्वारा इलाज दुर्लभ ही होता है।

अब प्रयागराज में यह सर्जरी प्रथम बार डॉ अनुराग अग्रवाल द्वारा देवपद हॉस्पिटल में सफलतापूर्वक की गई।
