Hi, Is it possible for a person with COPD to undergo Hip replacement surgery?

Patients with COPD represent a high percentage of risk groups, but COPD per say is not a contraindication for any surgery. It all depends on patient's general condition. Once the doctor gives fitness, surgery can be planned. Preoperative check-up of the respiratory system is necessary in order to prevent and avoid complications. The intraoperative care with respiratory and hemodynamic monitoring as well as postoperative care in the ICU will take of everything. Consult an orthopedic surgeon, physician for help.

I had an accident in 2005 August, I had a brachial plexus injury, I can't move my left hand. My left shoulder, wrist, elbow fused in CMC Vellore 10 Years ago. Any further treatment in India?

Hello Faisal, treatment depends on several factors including the severity of the injury, the type of injury, the length of time since the injury, and other existing conditions. And since you have mentioned it's been 10 years, so the reason is nerve tissue grows slowly, so it can take several years to know the full benefit of surgery.

 

Further, there are various surgeries we have mentioned below:

Nerve graft: In this procedure, the damaged part of the brachial plexus is removed and replaced with sections of nerves harvested from other parts of your body. This helps restore your arm's function.

Nerve transfer: When the nerve root has been torn from the spinal cord, surgeons often take a less important nerve that's still working and connect it to a nerve that's more important but not working.

Muscle transfer: Muscle transfer is a procedure in which your surgeon removes a less important muscle or tendon from another part of your body, typically the thigh, transfers it to your arm, and reconnects the nerves and blood vessels supplying the muscle.

Hope this answer helps you.

Hello, Avascular necrosis (AVN) of the hip is a painful condition that occurs when the blood supply to the head of the femur (thighbone) is disrupted.

Hi, my mother has Osteoarthritis and thus she suffers from chronic knee pain. Just wanted to know how effective stem cell therapy may be in her case. I also have a few doubts listed below: What are the benefits of stem cell therapy for osteoarthritis (if any)? What is the down-time after the procedure? My mother is a teacher and doesn't have the provision to take too many leaves. How much a procedure like this likely to cost?

As per my understanding you want to know stem cell treatment for knee osteoarthritis. Recently one of the companies has announced that it has received approval from FDA, for clinical trial, for use of stem cell therapy for knee osteoarthritis. So results of stem cell therapy for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis are still awaited. Consult an orthopedic, who on examining the patient will guide you with the best treatment available for the patient. Consult Orthopedic Physiotherapy doctors in Mumbai, or any other city which you feel will be better. Hope this has helped you.
