Vadodara: It has been 16 years that he has not been able to walk straight, due to an accident that left him almost immobile with a debilitating pain for so many years. But today, the 84-year-old Suleman Ahmed Chimta, a Bharuch resident is back on his feet, walking away from the painful past.
After a bad fracture of the right knee, eighty years old Had done many surgeries. But over the years he developed progressive pain that made his walking and daily activities a difficult task. Due to his advancing age and financial constraints, he did not want to undergo any further surgery. However, as his pain worsened over the past year, he was almost bedridden.
“His three sons could not stand his condition and decided to operate on him,” said Dr. Kunal Shah, who along with his team undertook the extremely challenging knee replacement surgery. Shah Said that the surgery was challenging because the bones were completely worn out due to the fracture and the potential for complications including refraction and nerve palsy was high. “Since the joint was so deformed, even regular knee replacement implants would not fit. After a lot of careful planning, we had the surgery and the very next day he started walking,” said Shah, who was convinced that the next In a few weeks, the chimta will begin to walk independently without any support.
He said, ‘Even at this age, the patient’s willingness to undergo such a complex surgery is commendable. By the grace of God, he will be able to lead a free, pain free life,” Shah said.
