Ashfaq’s painful hip joint has been replaced

Muhammad Ashfaq's Story

Muhammad Ashfaq, aged 42 years, slipped in bathroom around six months ago. As a result, his right hip was injured and he faced difficulty in performing day to day tasks due to restricted physical movement. On medical check-up in a local clinic, he was prescribed pain killers which provided temporary relief. However, on further evaluation his condition was diagnosed as bilateral avascular necrosis. The doctor advised a non-cemented total hip replacement surgery for his right hip. Ashfaq was admitted to Akram Medical Complex and his surgery was performed by Dr. Zahid Siddiq on 14-07-2021. His hospital stay was four days and he was discharged in a satisfactory condition. Ashfaq’s hip joint has healed post-surgery. He can now move his leg without any discomfort.
