New Delhi, August 08, 2018: In a first, renowned Orthopedic Surgeon Dr. Aditya Khemka has successfully operated on a 100 year-old woman for injury to her thigh bone – Femur at the Hinduja Healthcare Surgical, Mumbai. The injury occurred as the centenarian from Lucknow fell down and the bone had crumbled into multiple fragments. Her scans revealed that the bone was very weak, low calcium – osteoporosis. The case was further complicated by hip/ proximal Femur having some rods and screws.
A surgery was done under regional Anesthesia on August 4th, 2018 that took an hour to insert a plate and put the bones back together. Since then she has recovered very well and is now in the hospital ward room without too much pain. She is being managed on calcium supplementation and paracetamol tablets. Her diet is back to normal and she well oriented. Her daughter says she is strong willed woman but has never been this good since a year.
