Mumbai docs help elderly woman walk within 48 hrs after she fell, fractured hip

Hip fractures and degenerative hip disorders such as osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis (AVN), and inflammatory arthritis are becoming increasingly common among older adults, often leaving them with severe pain, difficulty walking, and dependence on family members for even basic daily activities. While medications and physiotherapy may provide temporary relief in some cases, advanced joint damage often requires hip replacement surgery to restore mobility and quality of life. A team led by Dr Srisanat Rao, robotic knee & hip replacement surgeon, Zynova Shalby Multispeciality Hospital, Ghatkopar, Mumbai, successfully treated an elderly woman with a hip fracture using the Direct Anterior Approach (DAA), a modern muscle-sparing hip replacement technique.

Fighting fungal infections during monsoon season: Indian docs share expert tips

Across India, rising humidity, damp clothes, wet footwear, crowded commutes, and prolonged sweating create the perfect environment for fungi to thrive.

Mumbai doctors successfully fix elderly woman's finger after freak accident

A peaceful return home after an evening walk turned into a terrifying ordeal for a 75-year-old Bhagwani Singh, a resident of Lower Parel, when strong winds sweeping through her high-rise apartment triggered a scary accident.

In the painful attempt to pull her hand free, another gust pushed the door again, striking her forehead and leaving her with injuries that also required stitches. Nearly 18 hours later, despite the severity of the crush injury and several medical challenges, Mumbai doctors were able to treat her successfully and replant her finger....
