Services Offered:
Mr Srinivasan, a 103-year-old man from Mylapore was rushed into Kauvery Hospital with a dislocated hip owing to a fall. His age was a massive challenge for our team of geriatricians and orthopaedics to overcome. Yet, our team remained confident of facilitating his recovery. After immediate imaging and diagnosis, our surgical team geared up to perform a complex hip replacement surgery to help him get back on his feet. A centenarian, Mr Srinivasan remained strong-willed and put his faith in us to restore him to normalcy. The surgery was successfully performed and within 5 days, he was back on his feet and returned to his routine.
Mr S N Pai, a 101-year-old was rushed into Kauvery Hospital in an ambulance. His fall had dislocated his hip. However, within 10 mins of the call, our ambulance was ready to pick him up and within 2 hours of his admission, his surgery was scheduled post diagnosis and imaging. Throughout the ordeal, Mr Pai remained optimistic and hopeful about his recovery. His surgery was successfully performed and he left the hospital 3 days later with a smile on his face.
