Neuromonitoring helps us confirm spinal cord function

05/12/2025

A proud moment today.
A patient who underwent a 2-stage exchange for infected Total Knee Replacement walked again today.
These are the victories that keep us going — when science, perseverance and patient faith come together.
This patient had a severe infection after Total Knee Replacement and could not walk.
I performed a 2-stage revision (first stage implant removal + antibiotic spacer, second stage definitive TKR).
Today, he walked again — a huge milestone in recovery.
Organism isolated was Burkholderia cepacia. Periprosthetic joint infection due to Burkholderia cepacia is uncommon and challenging due to: • High intrinsic antibiotic resistance
• Biofilm formation
• Slow response to treatment

Had the privilege of delivering a talk on “MIS TLIF: What All Can Go Wrong?” at the 16th MISS Update & 7th Live Cadaveric Workshop (LIVCAD) 2025.

It was an enriching experience sharing insights on potential pitfalls in minimally invasive TLIF and how to anticipate and avoid complications for better surgical outcomes.

A big thank you to Dr. Mohinder Kaushal, Dr. Mukul Kaushal and the organizing team for putting together such a well-structured academic event and for the opportunity to contribute.

💡 Revolutionizing Revision Knee Replacement Surgery

Metaphyseal Sleeves — The Game Changer

Revision total knee replacement often presents major challenges — bone loss, poor fixation, and compromised stability.
🔩 Metaphyseal sleeves have transformed this landscape by providing a strong, biological fixation in the metaphyseal region — the strongest available bone stock in most revisions.

✅ Advantages:

Achieve press-fit stability even in massive bone defects

Enable osseointegration and long-term biological fixation

Reduce need for bulk allografts or structural augments

Simplify complex reconstructions with modular, reproducible solutions

Allow early mobilization and predictable outcomes

⚙️ Result:
A more efficient, durable, and patient-friendly revision knee replacement — where restoration of joint line, alignment, and stability is achieved with confidence.

🧠 Can Cervical Spine Degeneration Cause Headaches?
Yes! Spondylotic changes, even in the lower cervical spine (C4–C7) can lead to Cervicogenic Headache (CGH) — a type of headache that originates from neck structures.

Patients often describe:
✅ Pain starting in the neck and radiating to the back of the head or temples
✅ Stiffness or discomfort in the neck
✅ Worsening with neck movement or prolonged posture

Early diagnosis and proper management can relieve symptoms and prevent chronic pain.

🩺 From Wheelchair to Walking Again!
71-year-old Mr. Rajinder Jindal came to us on a wheelchair due to severe lumbar canal stenosis. Walking even a few steps was impossible because of leg pain and weakness.
He underwent Minimally Invasive TLIF Surgery, and within a few weeks he started walking comfortably — now he’s back to work and living independently again 🙌
In elderly patients like him, Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery makes a huge difference —
✅ Less blood loss
✅ Faster recovery
✅ Early mobilization
✅ Short hospital stay
This is what modern spine surgery is all about — precision, safety, and early return to life. 🌟
The significance of Minimally Invasive surgery in this patient population cannot be overemphasized.

🧠 Dynamic Cervical MRI – The Power of Motion in Diagnosis

Sometimes, a static MRI doesn’t tell the full story.
A Dynamic MRI (Flexion–Extension) helps reveal spinal cord compression or instability that appears only during neck movement — crucial for accurate diagnosis and surgical planning.

🔹 Left: Flexion view
🔹 Right: Extension view

This helps spine surgeons identify conditions like cervical myelopathy, instability, or ligament laxity that may otherwise be missed.

🌟 Patient Review | Restoring Lives through Spine Surgery

Grateful for this heartfelt feedback from the family of a patient who had been suffering from a spinal fracture for months. After several consultations elsewhere, she finally found relief through minimally invasive spine surgery at Manipal Hospital, Patiala by Dr Gaurav Sharma.

It’s deeply fulfilling to see patients regain mobility, confidence, and a pain-free life.
Every successful recovery reaffirms why we do what we do — combining precise surgical planning, advanced techniques, and patient-centric care.

Thank you, Ankur Sood, for trusting us with your mother’s treatment and sharing your experience.
