Complex bilateral knee replacement surgery performed at Max Hospital, Mohali

Chandigarh, October 30, 2025: Doctors at Max Super Speciality Hospital, Mohali, successfully performed a complex bilateral total knee replacement on a 62-year-old woman from Punjab, who had been struggling with severe osteoarthritis for several years. The life-transforming surgery was performed by Dr. Ajay Bhambri, Director– Orthopaedics & Joint Replacement, Max Super Speciality Hospital, Mohali, and his team.
A 62-year-old woman, had been living with crippling knee pain and stiffness for nearly a decade. Over the years, her condition had progressively worsened, leaving her unable to walk without support and dependent on her family for daily activities. Despite multiple treatments and physiotherapy sessions at local centers, her pain persisted and her mobility deteriorated significantly.
Upon her arrival at Max Hospital, Mohali, a detailed clinical evaluation and investigations revealed advanced osteoarthritis in both knee joints, with deformity and severely restricted movement. Considering the complexity and impact on her quality of life, Dr. Ajay Bhambri and his team decided to perform a simultaneous bilateral total knee replacement.
Speaking about the case, Dr. Ajay Bhambri, Director– Orthopaedics & Joint Replacement, Max Super Speciality Hospital, Mohali, said, “This was a particularly difficult case due to the patient’s advanced osteoarthritis and stiffness in both knees. Our aim was not just to replace the joints but to help her regain her independence and confidence. The surgery went well, and she was able to stand and walk with assistance the very next day. Following the surgery, the patient showed remarkable recovery and was discharged within 2 days, regaining her ability to walk independently within days. Witnessing her walk again after years of pain was deeply gratifying.”
This successful surgery underscores Max Super Speciality Hospital, Mohali’s, commitment to provide advanced orthopaedic and joint replacement care with compassion and precision. With world-class infrastructure, cutting-edge technology, and expert specialists, the hospital continues to set new benchmarks in restoring mobility and improving lives across Punjab and the Tricity region.
