Patients C.V. Shastry (80) and C. Bhagyalakshmi (75) had been experiencing knee pain and difficulty in walking for the last 15 years. They consulted various doctors and tried conservative measures of treatment including several injections in the knees. However, all of them failed to give a solution for any significant period. Their son  C. M. Vijayakumar, a banking professional based in Navi Mumbai approached Medicover Hospitals via social media to give a fresh lease of life to his parents.

The total knee replacement surgery took place sequentially in the same stretch of admission, providing relief from discomfort, walking difficulties and pain. Following the procedure, the couple regained full mobility and can now carry out their daily activities without any restrictions. Dr Deepak Gautam, consultant joint replacement and director of orthopedic disciplines, Medicover Hospitals, Navi Mumbai and his team successfully conducted the surgery on the couple suffering from severe osteoarthritis in their knees.
