When it comes to mobility, there is no room for compromise. Whether you are a young athlete looking to return to the field or an individual struggling with chronic joint pain, the quality of surgical intervention defines your quality of life.
At Inova Hospital (Lazimpat) and Bir Hospital, Dr. Sudip Khanal (MS Orthopedics, Arthroscopic Surgeon) is at the forefront of providing world-class orthopedic solutions. Below, we explore four recent complex cases that highlight the advanced surgical techniques now available in Kathmandu.
1. Revision ACL Reconstruction with LET
Primary ACL surgeries can sometimes fail due to trauma or biological factors. For 18-year-old Salin Pariyar, a Revision ACL Reconstruction was necessary.
To provide extra stability and prevent future graft failure, Dr. Khanal performed a Lateral Extra-articular Tenodesis (LET). This procedure reinforces the knee’s rotational stability, making it a gold standard for “revision” cases and high-demand athletes.
2. High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO) with Meniscus Root Repair
For patients with knee malalignment (bowed legs) and meniscus damage, a total knee replacement isn’t always the first answer.
Dr. Khanal recently performed a High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO) combined with a Meniscus Root Repair and Centralization. This “joint-preserving” surgery shifts the weight off the damaged side of the knee, allowing the patient to keep their natural joint for much longer.
“It does not matter how slowly you go, so long as you do not stop.” — A mantra we embrace for every patient’s recovery journey.
3. Arthroscopic ACL Reconstruction (Hamstring Graft)
Arthroscopic surgery, or “keyhole surgery,” is the preferred method for ACL repairs due to smaller incisions and faster recovery.
In the case of 20-year-old Asbin Chaulagain, Dr. Khanal utilized a Hamstring Autograft. Using the patient’s own tissue ensures high biocompatibility and a robust recovery, getting the patient back to their daily activities with minimal scarring.
4. Tibiotalarcalcaneal (TTC) Arthrodesis
Complex ankle and hindfoot deformities or severe arthritis require a high level of precision. Tibiotalarcalcaneal Arthrodesis is a fusion procedure used to stabilize the ankle and the heel bone (calcaneus).
As seen in the case of Sanjaya Khadka (36/M), Dr. Khanal used an intramedullary nail and specialized screws to provide rigid fixation. This procedure is life-changing for patients suffering from chronic, debilitating ankle pain, providing a stable, pain-free platform for walking.
