Today on 6thSeptember
2015 at F-block , Rishi nagar at 9:30am Free Ortho Camp organized by Rishi nagar F-block
welfare association (Regd.) was held . Sh. Manish Tewari former Union Minister for
Information and Broadcasting Govt. of India came there to inaugurate the free Ortho
Camp .
North India’s renowned orthopaedic surgeon , Dr.
Mohammad Yamin , Professor & HOD of ortho DMC hospital , Dr. Shekhar Singal
Asstt Professor. , Dr.Piyush , Dr. Navneet , Dr. Pankaj Chopra and paramedical
team of Dayanad Medical College,Ludhiana were there to check the patients. More
than 200 people came for their checkup , and their free bone density checkup
was done. At this moment Dr.M.Yamin gave his message to the people present
there and other citizens too-
The message is
not that people should wait until their knees break down completely before
replacing them. But they should question the need for surgery . If you do not
have bone-on-bone arthritis, in which all of the cushioning cartilage in the
knee is gone, think about exercise programs that could strengthen the joint,
reducing pain and disability, Losing
weight helps, too. But in case of severe problem Knee
replacement is an excellent solution that decreases pain and improves the quality
of life in many patients with severe arthritis of the knees. Typically patients
undergo this surgery after non-operative treatments (such as activity
modification anti-inflammatory medications or knee joint injections) have
failed to provide relief of arthritic symptoms. Surgeons have performed knee
replacements for over three decades generally with excellent results; most
reports have ten-year success rates in excess of 90 percent.
Also
Dr.Shekhar Singal Asstt Professor ,said that Knee replacement surgery was first performed in 1968. Since
then, improvements in surgical materials and techniques have greatly increased
its effectiveness. Total knee replacements are one of the most successful procedures in all
of medicine.
