KGMU performs partial knee replacement using microplasty technique
Lucknow: Doctors at KGMU's department of orthopaedics successfully performed a partial knee replacement using the microplasty technique—a significant shift from traditional total knee replacements. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The microplasty targets only the damaged portion of the knee, preserving healthy tissue and bone. Based on modern computer navigation, it allows for precise alignment and faster recovery with minimal cuts and reduced blood loss. The surgery was conducted by senior orthopaedic surgeon Prof Shailendra Singh on a 52-year-old woman from Sultanpur earlier this week. The patient was operated on under the Ayushman scheme of the govt. Prof Shailendra Singh said, "This is the future of knee surgery. Instead of replacing the entire joint, we now fix only the damaged part. Recovery is faster, pain is less, and the results are long-lasting." It will cost around Rs 80,000-Rs 90,000. He added that patients can often begin walking within 24 to 48 hours after surgery. "For carefully selected individuals, implants may last over 15 years, with many returning to regular physical activity or sports in a short time," he said. This technique is especially suited for individuals with localised medial compartment osteoarthritis, intact ligaments and stable joints—typically those who remain active even beyond the age of 40. The surgery involved a small incision of around 6-8 cm, guided instrumentation for accurate placement and the use of the Oxford Knee implant—a proven device developed by Oxford University in partnership with Zimmer Biomet. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The implant's hallmark is a mobile bearing design that mimics natural knee movement and allows most patients to begin walking within 24 to 48 hours. HoD orthopaedics department Prof Ashish Kumar said: "KGMU plans to expand the use of microplasty as a preferred treatment option in early-stage osteoarthritis, particularly among younger, active individuals. The university is also preparing to organise workshops and clinical sessions to train surgeons in this advancing technique." The surgery team included anaesthesiologists Prof Vineeta Singh and Prof Manoj Chaurasia, as well as orthopaedic colleagues Prof Ravindra Mohan, Dr Deepak Chawda and Dr Ankur Maan.

In border drive, Noida cops seize 25 Delhi ELVs
As a ban on fuel supply to end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) came into effect in Delhi on Tuesday, Noida traffic police started checking vehicles coming from Delhi at the Chilla border around 1.30pm, officers said. The Noida Traffic Police said in a statement that 10 petrol ELVs and 15 diesel ELVs were seized during the enforcement drive on Tuesday.

(sunil ghosh/ht photo) 'We have started checking ELVs coming from Delhi to Noida. If any ELV is found during the checks, we will seize it as per the National Green Tribunal (NGT) directions. The drive will continue from Tuesday, and more checkpoints will soon be added at the Delhi-Noida border,' Noida traffic inspector Shailendra Singh said. Police said that on the day, a Delhi-registered Hyundai i10 petrol variant with an illegally installed CNG kit was seized. 'We found that the owner had not obtained approval for the CNG installation from the Regional Transport Office (RTO). He was running the vehicle without approval, which could be dangerous for him and others,' said Singh said. The enforcement drive is part of a broader implementation plan under which fuel stations across Noida will begin using Automated Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras to deny fuel to end-of-life (EOL) vehicles starting November 1. According to a transport official, the RTO will install ANPR cameras at 101 fuel stations in Noida by October 31 to ensure compliance with the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) guidelines. Noida has around 180,000 ELVs, comprising 150,000 petrol vehicles and 30,000 diesel vehicles, according to transport department data. Fuel station operators, however, expressed concerns over the implementation of the fuel-denial policy. Dharamveer Chaudhury, general secretary of the Uttar Pradesh Petroleum Traders Association, said: 'The transport department is yet to consult their association. This is a government mandate, and fuel stations will comply. However, there must be police presence at fuel stations to maintain law and order, as denying fuel could lead to confrontations with customers.'

Over a dozen women suffer burns, infections after c-sec procedures in Pilibhit hosp
Pilibhit: Over a dozen women suffered burns, blisters, and skin infections after undergoing lower segment caesarean section (LSCS) procedures at the district women's hospital in Pilibhit. The hospital, which functions under the Autonomous State Medical College (ASMC), has recently come under fire for negligence in its medico-legal procedures. The affected women, who were admitted between June 1 and June 5, reported acute burns, blackened skin, and blisters on their backs following their surgeries. Private surgeons in Pilibhit, including Dr B Das and Dr Shailendra Singh, and former chief medical superintendent (CMS) of the hospital, Dr Anita Chaurasia, suspect the cause could be contaminated disinfectant solutions, unsterilised stretchers, or infected bedsheets used in the operation theatre and recovery wards. "Savlon, a disinfectant solution, is commonly applied for cleaning the back of the patient before administering spinal anaesthesia," said Das. A senior surgeon from ASMC, however, did not rule out the possibility of cautery burns due to mishandling of electrocautery equipment during the procedures. One of the victims, Princi Devi from Jyoraha Kalyanpur village, said she developed a severe burning sensation on her back a day after her surgery on June 2, which quickly worsened into blisters. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Boots is giving free 75-minute hearing checks in Enfield.

Similar complaints were raised by Birla Devi of Khamaria Dalelgang, Vimla Devi of Daulatpur Patti, and Chaman Devi of Murha Semnagar village, all of whom later sought private medical treatment, spending between Rs 1,500 and Rs 2,000 for relief. The victims also alleged that they were compelled to pay a bribe of Rs 4,500 to hospital staff through Asha workers. Notably, under a govt scheme encouraging institutional deliveries, Asha workers and new mothers are entitled to cash rewards. "Asha workers receive Rs 400 per delivery, while new mothers are entitled to Rs 1,000 in urban areas and Rs 1,400 in rural regions," said CMO Dr Alok Kumar. ASMC principal, Dr Sangeeta Aneja, said she will call for a detailed report from the hospital authorities. "I was informed of one such matter on June 1,and had ordered the replacement of the entire stock of Betadine solution," she said. The CMO has directed the chief medical superintendent (CMS) of the women's hospital, Dr Rajesh Kumar, to submit all relevant medical records within a week. "He has also been warned to ensure such incidents are not repeated," Kumar said. Officials said the number of affected patients could be higher, with unreported cases possibly stretching back to Jan this year. Follow more information on Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad here .
