Discover How One Patient Regained Traditional Sitting Comfort After Surgery at ORTHO D HOSPITAL, Ahmedabad
One of the most frequently asked questions by patients considering knee replacement surgery is: “Will I be able to sit cross-legged after the operation?”
This concern is particularly important for Indian patients, where cross-legged sitting is a part of daily routine — whether it’s for meals, prayers, or social gatherings. While many believe that sitting cross-legged after a knee replacement is difficult or impossible, we’re here to tell you otherwise — with real-life proof!
A 59-Year-Old Patient’s Inspiring Recovery Story
A 59-year-old gentleman had been suffering from chronic pain in both knees for many years. Over time, the pain worsened, making it extremely difficult for him to walk, climb stairs, or even stand for long periods. The simple act of sitting cross-legged, something he once did comfortably, had become painful and almost impossible.
He consulted Dr. Ruchir Patel, one of the most trusted and experienced knee replacement surgeons in Ahmedabad, at ORTHO D HOSPITAL.
Expert Consultation with Dr. Ruchir Patel
During his consultation, Dr. Ruchir Patel conducted a thorough physical examination and reviewed his X-rays, which clearly showed advanced osteoarthritis in both knees. After explaining all the treatment options, Dr. Ruchir recommended Bilateral Total Knee Replacement Surgery — a procedure that replaces the damaged knee joint surfaces with artificial implants, relieving pain and restoring function.
The patient, after understanding the benefits and potential outcomes, decided to undergo the surgery under the expert care of Dr. Ruchir Patel.
