Now it is possible to cure osteoarthritis and rheumatism patients of every age by advanced transplant technique with availability of surgical experts and infrastructure, said eminent orthopaedics and joint replacement surgeon Dr Shubhransu Sekhar Mohanty.

Speaking to doctors in a CME programme organised by the city-based KIDS Diabetes and Multispecialty Hospital, Dr Mohanty said diagnosis of the disease at the right time can prevent the patients from the loss of mobility.

During the programme, two patients having undergone successful joint replacement at this centre interacted with the participants and expressed their satisfaction on excellent surgery.

Dr Mohanty thanked KIDS Hospital CMD Dr Alok Kanungo for providing all advanced facilities at low cost to the patients. About 100 doctors attended the programme. The meeting was presided over by diabetic foot surgeon Dr Sibani Kumar Sen.
