Freedom from Pain: Joint Replacement Surgery Success

For 67-year-old Mrs. Meenakshi Saha, a retired schoolteacher from Lake Gardens, life had slowly become confined within the walls of her home. Years of chronic joint pain and osteoarthritis in both knees, along with hip stiffness, had stripped her of independence. Simple activities—like walking, climbing stairs, or sitting cross-legged—became painful challenges.

“I had accepted that pain was part of aging,” she shared. “But when I started depending on others to move around inside my home, I knew I had to seek help.”

Her search led her to Dr. Amrish Kumar Jha, a renowned orthopedic surgeon in Kolkata, known for his excellence in joint replacement and trauma management. After a thorough evaluation, Dr. Jha diagnosed her with advanced degenerative arthritis in both knees and early hip joint collapse. He advised bilateral total knee replacement, followed later by right hip replacement, to restore mobility and prevent further deterioration.

“Joint replacements are not just about reducing pain,” said Dr. Jha. “They are about restoring dignity, mobility, and the ability to live life independently.”

Under Dr. Jha’s expert care, Mrs. Saha underwent staged Total Knee Replacement (TKR) using modern implants and minimally invasive techniques, followed by Total Hip Replacement (THR). Each procedure was supported by structured physiotherapy and rehabilitation.

Recovery was steady and transformative. Within weeks, she was walking independently and enjoying a full range of motion. Less than a year later, she’s back to her morning walks, cooking for her family, and living an active, pain-free life.

“Dr. Jha gave me back the life I thought I had lost,” she said with gratitude. “I feel younger, more active, and full of energy again.”

Mrs. Saha’s story is a shining example of how joint replacement surgeries, when performed with precision and compassion, can truly transform lives. Through his patient-centered approach, Dr. Amrish Kumar Jha continues to bring comfort, mobility, and renewed hope to countless individuals across Kolkata.
