The doctors at Guntur-based Shri Ramchandra Joint Replacement Center successfully conducted surgeries and replaced two legs of a 70-year-old man who was almost bedridden.
Addressing a press conference on Saturday, Dr. Sivaiah Potla, founder of the centre, informed that they performed the complicated surgery on Dadi Venkateswarlu of Bapatla.
Dr. Sivaiah said that both knees of the patient were worn out, the tibia and femur bones in his legs were destroyed, and the ligaments were stretched giving him a polio limbs-like gait. He said that the patient’s right knee was bent inside by 40 degrees (Varus Deformity), and the left knee was bent outside by 50 degrees (Valgus Deformity).
