 This is my grandfather, Mr. Veera Shetty. He is 95 years old and I am his granddaughter, Panchami. We came here 3 days back. He had a fall and he broke his hip. Mr. Veera Shetty from Chikkamangaloo aged around 95 years had a fall in his house around 2 days back. At fall he had a severe pain in his hip and he was not able to sit, stand and not able to walk. In the local hospital the facilities were not there to manage such a patient. We consulted Dr. Mollinath and after having preliminary checks he was cleared for a surgery. When Mr. Veera Shetty came to Manipal Hospital emergency, he had a swelling in his hip and his leg was shortened. He was not able to lift his leg. He was not able to sit and he was not able to stand. We did an X-ray and confirmed the fracture in his hip and we consulted cardiologist, geriatric physician and anesthesia doctors for further planning and treatment. They explained the process. It was very clear. Surgery was done the very next day. It took around 2 hours and everything went well. So he was immediately shifted to his room. There was no ICU, no complications. It was a complete 100% success at his age and for his injuries it was a bipolar replacement where he is given a titanium ball that is replaced in his body and he is doing very well now. Giving anaesthesia to such an old patient with the medical problems is very difficult and managing patients during operation and after operation is also very difficult. Dr. Manjunath's senior anaesthetist in our hospital managed him very well and there was not a single incidence of any variations in the BP during operation or after operation and patients started walking from the next day after operation and such an old patients usually require a multidisciplinary approach. That means may need has been different special needs to manage such conditions. He didn't take much time to recover. It was just a days of day convalescence and now he is doing very well. He is able to walk. He is also able to do some exercises with his leg as well. So that is helping him recover and yeah it has been a very short stay but a very successful surgery. When the patient, usually what happens is such patients come to the hospital, majority of the patients think it is not possible to treat such an old patient. They think the patients will die during operation or after operation. That is the usually mind set of many patients and patient attenders. Nowadays with advanced technology and techniques in surgical management, anaesthesia and monitoring, we can give anaesthesia and do surgery in even in order patients. After operation on the same day we shifted him to the ward and patient was very happy. Patient attendants were very happy and that made the difference because many people think that after operation they need an ICU care. They have to stay in the ICU for long period. That did not happen in such in his case and everybody felt happy and that positive mindset makes a lot of difference in the recovery. I thank the doctor. I thank Dr. Madinath and the team. The staff also have been very cooperative, very helpful and also they are attending to him as in when he is gone. So it has been overall a very good experience. These fractures are common in Odesh and usually because of the cognitive improvement, because of taking a lot of medications or poor vision or the slippery surface in the house and osteoporosis contributes a lot to these fractures and these fractures should be treated the earliest to make the patient mobile. Otherwise the patients will develop complications like a chest infection, pneumonia or bed sores.
