BENGALURU MAKES MEDICAL HISTORY

Bengaluru: In a groundbreaking achievement, Narayana Health City has successfully performed Bengaluru’s first Total Ankle Replacement (TAR) surgery, offering new hope to patients suffering from severe ankle arthritis.

Led by Dr. Shekar Mudramaiah, Orthopaedic Surgeon and Foot & Ankle Specialist, the surgery was performed on 64-year-old Jacinta Agnes Mascarenhas, who had been struggling with intense pain and restricted mobility for years.

This pioneering procedure marks a significant milestone in advancing orthopedic care in India, making advanced ankle treatments accessible to more patients.

A NEW LEASE ON LIFE- The patient, who had been forced to cut back on her daily activities due to severe arthritis, can now walk pain-free with natural movement. The surgery has restored her mobility, enabling her to resume her normal routine.

A COMPLEX PROCEDURE- The specialized implants required for the surgery were sourced from the USA and the Netherlands, after securing necessary approvals from the Drug Control Authority of India.

A MEDICAL MILESTONE- Speaking about the significance of this breakthrough, Dr. Shekar Mudramaiah said, “This surgery proves that we can now offer a better, movement-preserving solution right here in Bengaluru. With greater access to these advanced implants, many more patients can benefit from this life-changing procedure.”
