Ten years after a high fall, the left knee pain of 52-year-old RUSUDAN KAKABADZE never went away. She could neither walk properly nor spend a single day without pain. She had visited countless doctors with no result. After applying to Mpgcare Health Tourism Company in Batumi, she finally found the cure at Medical Park Ordu Hospital. Operated on by Orthopedics and Traumatology Specialist Assoc. Prof. Dr. Birol Gürler, she returned to her country with her pain gone.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Birol Gürler, who performed the operation, said: “When the patient came to us, she could not move her knee and had severe pain. Our examinations showed cartilage damage in the knee joint, and we decided on surgery. We performed a Total Knee Replacement due to osteoarthritis. We prefer total knee arthroplasty for patients whose knee pain persists despite medication, physical therapy, cane use, and intra-articular injections, who have difficulty walking, and whose quality of life has declined. The surgery went very well. The day after the operation, we got the patient up and walking, and we discharged her in good health on day 5. At the 15th-day follow-up, she reported no complaints, was walking without support, and her pain had resolved. We are happy to have contributed to her recovery.”

HEARTFELT THANKS TO THE DOCTOR!

Feeling no pain after surgery and walking without difficulty, 52-year-old RUSUDAN KAKABADZE said: “For 10 years, I never had a pain-free day. My quality of life decreased. I couldn’t enjoy time with friends, go out comfortably, or climb stairs. I finally found the remedy with Mpgcare and Medical Park Ordu Hospital. I sincerely thank MPGCARE Health Tourism Company and my doctor, Dr. Birol Gürler, for helping me overcome this problem.”
