Case #1 • Dr. K. Prashanth Kumar
Precision Resection & Anatomical Alignment

Total Knee Arthroplasty (Joint Replacement)

Clinical Challenge: Severe grade-IV tricompartmental osteoarthritis with painful bone-on-bone friction, fixed flexion contracture, and severe walking limitation.
Surgical Technique: Precision bone cuts using calibrated oscillating saw instrumentation, accurate ligamentous tension balancing, and anatomical femoral-tibial component fixation under strict laminar airflow OT sterility.
Clinical Outcome: Elimination of chronic arthritic pain, restoration of physiological leg mechanical axis, and assisted walking within 24 hours of surgery.

Case #2 • Dr. K. Prashanth Kumar
Advanced Multi-Planar Limb Salvage

Complex Trauma & Ilizarov Ring Fixation

Clinical Challenge: High-energy compound comminuted tibial and fibular fracture with compromised soft tissue envelope and high risk of non-union.
Surgical Technique: Application of circular Ilizarov ring external fixator utilizing tensioned transfixion Kirschner wires, allowing stable 3D multi-axial skeletal stabilization without opening or devitalizing the fracture site.
Clinical Outcome: Protected soft tissue biology, sound union without deep bone infection, limb length preservation, and complete weight-bearing ambulation.

Case #3 • Dr. K. Prashanth Kumar
Meticulous Soft-Tissue & Ligament Balance

Intra-Operative Joint Reconstruction

Clinical Challenge: Complex joint degeneration with asymmetric collateral ligament laxity and severe joint deformity.
Surgical Technique: Careful exposure, sequential soft tissue sleeve release, patellofemoral tracking optimization, and verified flexion-extension gap symmetry.
Clinical Outcome: Stable, fluid joint kinematics, full range of painless flexion, and steady return to independent, active lifestyle.
