Why Partial surgery?
With improvement in life expectancy people are living longer and a significant number wants to remain active. Many a times this desire is cut short by disabling knee pain.
Whenever I advise a partial knee surgery to any one I am met with puzzled looks and blank stares. One air force officer told me that he doesn’t want to be subject of an experiment, another lady with rural back ground bluntly told me that I should not assume that she was dumb enough to pay money for undergoing half(incomplete) surgery. I don’t blame these people as they were unaware of very existence of this operation. They were unaware of excellent results that partial operation gives to the people who undergo this operation. It doesn’t help when five other doctors including some big names had all advised total knee replacement. I wish these doubting individuals’ made an effort to find out about the fastest growing knee operation worldwide.
Mrs. Raj was only 40 and suffering from disabling knee pain for last many years. She was dependent on her daily dose of painkillers to carry her through the day. I examined her and saw her x rays, I found her to be suffering from early osteoarthritis of knee but she was among 40 % of Indian patients with damage limited to inner side of the knee. Fortunately for her she decided to go ahead with partial knee replacement operation. She was admitted for surgery in the morning and discharged the very next day. The pain and limp gradually disappeared in the ensuing weeks. In fact, I was surprised to meet her at one of the shopping malls in saket. I almost didn’t recognize her, she seemed happy and relaxed. Such people are the ones who encourage doctors to go ahead and accept newer procedures and techniques.
Just for your information president(ex) George W Bush underwent partial knee replacement in year 2014

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
