After hip procedure, woman, 85, set to walk
Mangalore: KMC Hospital Mangalore successfully performed a Reclaim Revision Hip System implantation, on an 85-year-old female patient. The woman sustained a severely comminuted and unstable hip fracture and was unable to walk.
The procedure was skillfully led by a multidisciplinary team, including orthopaedic consultants Dr Vikram GK Bhat and Dr Sudhindra K, and anaesthetist Dr Shilpa GK Bhat.
Following a detailed clinical evaluation and counselling, the woman and her family were guided through the available treatment options. Given the nature of the fracture and her overall health status, the team made a considered decision to proceed with the Reclaim Revision Hip System, a specialised implant designed to bypass the fractured bone segments and provide immediate post-operative stability.
Dr Vikram said, "Elderly patients with severely comminuted hip fractures present a unique set of challenges, not just in terms of bone quality, but also their ability to recover post-surgery. In this case, a conventional approach would have risked delayed mobility and potential complications. By choosing the Reclaim Revision Hip System, we were able to bypass the fracture site and allow the patient to walk immediately after surgery, which is critical for faster recovery and overall quality of life," he said.
