Mrs. Sarita Kaushal Walks Into a New Life After Bilateral Knee Replacement by Dr. Ajay Bhambri at Max Hospital
By Health Correspondent
For years, Mrs. Sarita Kaushal silently battled chronic knee pain that gradually turned everyday activities into exhausting tasks. Climbing stairs, walking short distances, or even standing for long periods became increasingly difficult due to advanced osteoarthritis in both her knees.
“My life had shrunk to the four walls of my home,” Mrs. Kaushal recalls. “The constant pain made me dependent on others, and I had almost given up hope of living normally again.”
Her journey took a remarkable turn when she consulted Dr. Ajay Bhambri, a renowned orthopedic surgeon at Max Hospital, who diagnosed the severity of her condition and recommended Bilateral Total Knee Replacement (B/L TKR) — a surgical procedure to replace both damaged knee joints with advanced implants.
With the trust she placed in Dr. Bhambri’s expertise and the support of the Max Hospital orthopedic team, Mrs. Kaushal underwent the surgery successfully. Early post-operative physiotherapy and a carefully monitored recovery plan helped her regain mobility faster than expected.
“Within a few days, I was walking with support, and now I can move around independently, pain-free,” she says with a smile. “It feels like a second innings of life.”
Dr. Bhambri praised her resilience and positive mindset throughout the recovery journey. “Bilateral TKR is life-changing for patients like Mrs. Kaushal who suffer from severe joint degeneration. Her success is a result of timely surgery, her commitment to recovery, and a well-coordinated clinical team.”
Today, Mrs. Kaushal enjoys her daily walks, spends active time with her grandchildren, and encourages others facing similar pain not to delay treatment.
