On the same afternoon, Prof. Lebel also directly operated on patient NBM (74 years old) in Do Luong, Nghe An. Patient M. has had pain in both knees for more than 10 years, making it difficult to walk and do daily activities. During the time he was sick, his family took him to many hospitals for medical treatment, but the disease did not improve. The pain symptoms increased, making it impossible for the patient to walk. When he came to Nghe An Orthopedic Trauma Hospital for examination, the patient was in a state of severe degeneration of both knees, and had a crooked leg axis; he was indicated for bilateral knee replacement surgery.

Pioneer in mastering knee replacement surgery techniques
Knee osteoarthritis is a disease that progresses silently, so few people detect it in time. When the disease progresses severely, it will cause dangerous complications, significantly affecting the patient's daily life and work. If not treated early, the disease can cause lifelong disability.
