66-year-old female underwent successful Bilateral Knee Replacement and has recovered completely

Mrs Subhadra, a 66-year-old from Hyderabad, who has been suffering from knee pain for the past nine years. She shares her experience with Dr SRK Dikshith, a renowned orthopaedic surgeon at Apollo Hospitals, Hyderguda.

After evaluating her condition, Dr Dikshith advised Mrs Subhadra to undergo knee replacement surgery. Initially, she was scared, but Dr Dikshith gave her the confidence to proceed. With his reassurance, she underwent bilateral knee replacement surgery. Now, three months post-surgery, she is pain-free, fully recovered, and can perform her daily activities without any difficulty, having regained her physical ability. She expresses her gratitude to Dr Dikshith and the entire team for their support throughout her journey.

Dr Dikshith explains Mrs Subhadra’s case, noting that she had been suffering from severe osteoarthritis in both knees for almost ten years. Her fear of surgery led her to endure the pain, significantly impacting her daily activities and quality of life. Dr Dikshith performed bilateral knee replacement in a single sitting and initiated gentle physiotherapy within 24 hours post-surgery. He also mentioned that bilateral knee replacement in a single sitting can be successful.
