Hip Replacement in Ankylosing Spondylitis |Patient Success Stories|

Recovering from Ankylosing Spondylitis - A Patient’s Journey

Imagine being young, newly married, with a job in an MNC. Sounds like a dream, right? But the same couldn’t be said about Mr. Tarun Bhatia, as he is suffering from Ankylosing Spondylitis, with one of his hip having bony fusion.

As a result, Tarun could not travel for work, or even enjoy the blessings of being newly married. He could barely sit straight. The fusion of the bone had even reached his neck.

But all that changed right after his Hip Replacement Surgery (THR). His recovery began on Day 1 after surgery, and slowly yet surely, he went back to having the normal life that he had always desired.

Watch his journey of recovery, as he got back his flexibility and confidence.

Patients like Tarun take a long time to make their decision about surgery. This makes sense, as it is a big decision. Even Tarun had many questions before the surgery. But after the surgery, he was sure that he should have made the decision sooner.

People suffering from Ankylosing Spondylitis can learn this valuable lesson from Tarun.
