A story of 47 years old Man
A 47-year-old man, was brought to the emergency department at Artemis Hospital, Gurgaon, after sustaining a traumatic injury. He presented with severe neck pain and numbness in both hands, which were significantly impacting him.
Dr. Hitesh Garg – Took the Charges
Dr. Hitesh Garg, the Head of Orthopedic Spine Surgery at Artemis Hospital, took charge of his case. After a thorough evaluation, including MRI and CT scans, Dr. Garg diagnosed him with cervical instability and cervical myelopathy at C5-C6. This condition, if left untreated, could lead to permanent neurological damage.
His family was immediately informed about the severity of his condition and the urgent need for surgical intervention. Dr. Garg explained the risks and benefits of an Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) surgery, a procedure designed to stabilize the cervical spine and relieve pressure on the spinal cord.
Given the critical nature of his condition, the surgical team at Artemis Hospital moved swiftly to prepare for the procedure. The surgery was a success, effectively addressing the cervical instability and relieving the pressure on his spinal cord.
Post Surgery
Following the surgery, he made a remarkable recovery. His neck pain and numbness gradually subsided, and he regained control of his hands. The once-threatening situation had turned into a story of resilience and medical triumph. He and his family were immensely grateful to Dr. Garg and the Artemis Hospital team for their expert care and successful treatment.
