Dear Everyone, we conducted successfully the first ever bone and joint walk in Trichy. it was well covered by newspapers locally and in The Hindu and The New Indian Express. first let me share some photos through our web site. further to my previous blog on bone and joint awareness problems in India. we focused our efforts to improve among the general public.
The bone and joint walk is essentially an effort to group people who had benefitted by bone and joint surgery and primarily joint replacements. this is based on the model we use regularly in UK called Hip and Knee walk. this shows that patients can function especially normal walking which is what had been missing in their day to day life. we take for granted walking is possible for everyone. but then when u see these arthritic patients who are unable to walk even indoors ,u realize that how lucky we are.
to be able to give that ability to walk without pain is why we go further to bring complex and yet successful treatment like knee and hip replacements to patients. when u are able to do for people in Trichy where i had studied and able to provide the treatment for patients from your native place and surrounding villages, it gives satisfaction. is it not the reason why chose Medicine as my career. to be able to help other people.

Prevention is better than cure. It is a great initiative by a Doctor himself (note that). I really appreciate this effort and I guess atleast few who read this in newspapers would have transformed or changed their lifestyle. I wish efforts like this will definitely influence many on their lifestyle.
