12/21/2024 9:11:49 PM
Early Times Report
JAMMU, Dec 21: In a remarkable feat of surgical precision and teamwork, the All-India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) Vijaypur in Jammu successfully performed its first case of bilateral equinocavus deformity correction on a pediatric patient. The surgery, a significant achievement in the field of Rehabilitation medicine was carried out by a dedicated multidisciplinary team under the visionary leadership of Prof (Dr) Shakti Kumar Gupta, Executive Director and CEO of AIIMS Jammu.
The young patient, who had been diagnosed operated case of meningomyelocele with severe bilateral equinocavus deformity coupled with fixed flexion deformities left knee, faced significant challenges in mobility and quality of life. This condition, characterized by an abnormally high arch of the foot and persistent downward-pointing toes, had left the child struggling with standing, and limited function. Addressing such complex deformities requires advanced surgical intervention and exceptional coordination among specialists.
Procedure
Dr. Junis Ali, Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Dr. Rashid Anjum, Department of Orthopaedics, and Dr. Parvez M. Dar, Department of Trauma and Emergency Medicine with their teams performed a series of procedures, including:
Bilateral Z-Plasty of the Achilles Tendon: This innovative technique lengthens the tendon to relieve tightness and improve flexibility.
Posterior Capsular Release: A critical step to enhance the range of motion by releasing the stiff posterior capsule in the ankle joint.
Plantar Fascia Release: Targeting the thickened band of tissue on the sole, this procedure alleviates tension and corrects deformity.
Fractional Release of Medial and Lateral Hamstring Muscle Tendons: This delicate intervention ensures better alignment of the lower limbs.
The surgery was performed with meticulous precision and lasted several hours. Post-operative care plans were designed to include intensive rehabilitation care ensuring optimal recovery for the young patient.
Dr. Junis Ali said, "This case was unique as it required careful planning, coordination, and execution. We are proud to have successfully completed this complex surgery and are optimistic about the patient's improved quality of life post-recovery."
Dr. Rashid Anjum emphasized the importance of such cases in highlighting AIIMS Jammu growing capabilities. "Orthopaedic deformities like this demand advanced surgical expertise and collaboration among departments. This milestone demonstrates our readiness to handle complex cases with cutting-edge techniques.
Dr. Parvez M. Dar echoed these sentiments, adding, "This surgery is a testament to the world-class medical care available at AIIMS Vijaypur. Our multidisciplinary approach ensures the best possible outcomes for patients."
Leadership Driving Innovation:
Under the dynamic leadership of Prof (Dr) Shakti Kumar Gupta, ED & CEO AIIMS Jammu has been rapidly evolving into a hub of medical excellence in Jammu and Kashmir. Dr. Gupta commended the surgical team for their dedication and skill. "This achievement is a significant step forward in our mission to provide state-of-the-art healthcare to the region. I am proud of our team and confident that this is just the beginning of many more groundbreaking surgeries at AIIMS Jammu," he remarked.
Dr. Gupta's vision for AIIMS Jammu includes not only providing top-tier medical care but also fostering an environment for medical innovation and research. The success of this case underscores the institution's commitment to these goals.
Hope for Patients Across the Region:
The young patient and their family expressed immense gratitude to the medical team and AIIMS Jammu for their efforts. "We had almost given up hope of our child walking normally. AIIMS Jammu has given us a new ray of hope," said the child's father, visibly emotional after the successful surgery.
Such cases resonate with many families across Jammu and Kashmir who struggle to find advanced medical care for rare and complex conditions. The success of this surgery sends a powerful message of hope and reassurance that world-class healthcare is now accessible within the region.
With this milestone, AIIMS Jammu has set a benchmark for future medical achievements and underscored its role as a beacon of hope for patients and families in need.
