Mr. Hanh, a 61-year-old man, had been suffering from osteoarthritis in both of his knee joints for the past two years. He experienced a lot of pain, difficulty walking, and ultimately had both knee joints replaced with artificial joints within a month.
Due to underlying health conditions such as ischemia, diabetes, and long-term gout, Mr. Hanh was advised to have one knee replaced at a time. The right knee, which was more severely damaged, was addressed first. Using TraumaCad software, Dr. Le Dinh Khoa analyzed X-ray images to determine the appropriate type of artificial joint for Mr. Hanh’s body.
The surgical procedure involved removing damaged bone ends and replacing them with artificial materials to allow for smooth movement of the knee joint and minimize pain. Following the surgery, early exercise played a crucial role in Mr. Hanh’s recovery. The patient was prescribed a multi-modal pain relief method to facilitate post-operative rehabilitation. On the fifth day after the surgery, Mr. Hanh was discharged from the hospital with improved mobility and reduced pain in his right knee.
