A specialized medical team in orthopedic surgeries at King Abdullah Medical Complex in Jeddah, under the supervision of Dr. Ahmed Al-Faifi, managed to end the suffering of a 73-year-old woman by performing a knee joint replacement surgery using modern technologies such as robotics and artificial intelligence.
In details, the patient visited the orthopedic outpatient clinics at the medical complex according to the approved outpatient clinics protocol. She was suffering from severe and chronic knee joint pain, leading to restricted movement and difficulty walking.
After reviewing the case and conducting necessary medical tests, including radiological tests revealing severe arthritis in the knee joint, orthopedic surgeons were called in to study the case and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
The treating medical team made a decision to perform a high-quality and rare surgical operation for the case, using modern techniques in knee joint replacement surgery, such as robotics and artificial intelligence.
The operation took an hour and a half and ended successfully without any complications. The patient was then transferred to regular care units to receive the necessary care until her condition stabilized. She started moving and walking on the second day after the operation and was granted permission to leave on the third day, as she was in good health.
