At the age of 9, Mr. Dong developed ankylosing spondylitis in his hip joint, leading to joint pain, stiffness, and limitations in mobility. Despite trying various treatments over the years, he only experienced temporary pain relief. His condition progressed to deformities and limitations in his right hip joint, resulting in a shorter leg that caused him to limp.
Under the care of Dr. Dang Khoa Khoa at Tam Anh General Hospital, Mr. Dong underwent a successful artificial hip replacement surgery using the SuperPATH technique. This minimally invasive approach preserved soft tissues and allowed for a faster recovery. Rehabilitation post-surgery was crucial for restoring his mobility and improving strength and range of motion in his hip.
After undergoing the surgery, Mr. Dong experienced immediate pain relief and balanced leg lengths, allowing him to walk normally without any limitations or discomfort. Dr. Khoa emphasized the importance of preserving natural body parts and using surgery as a last resort when necessary to improve patients’ quality of life. With modern medical technology making major surgeries like hip replacements less invasive and more effective, Mr. Dong is now able to live an active lifestyle with ease.
Mr. Dong expressed regret for not having the surgery sooner due to its simplicity and quick recovery time.
Overall, this case highlights how advancements in medical technology have made it possible for individuals like Mr. Dong to receive effective treatment options with minimal side effects and shorter recovery times.
In conclusion, Mr. Dong’s journey with ankylosing spondylitis has been challenging but thanks to Dr. Khoa’s expertise in orthopedic surgery and rehabilitation techniques as well as modern medical technology available at Tam Anh General Hospital he was able to overcome these challenges and live an active lifestyle without any discomfort or limitations.
