Pioneering Total Talus Replacement Surgery in Telangana
Yashoda Hospital, Somajiguda – Hyderabad, has achieved a groundbreaking milestone in orthopaedic surgery with the successful completion of Telangana’s first-ever Total Talus Replacement – a procedure involving the replacement of the talus, a key bone in the ankle joint that plays a crucial role in mobility and weight-bearing.
This landmark surgery was performed by Dr. Pradeep Moonot, in collaboration with Dr. Sunil Dachepalli.
A Customized Approach with 3D-Printed Technology
What makes this surgery truly exceptional is the use of a personalized 3D-printed titanium talus implant.
- Patient-specific design: The implant was meticulously created based on the patient’s unique ankle anatomy.
- Advanced engineering: The custom titanium structure ensures an accurate fit, improved joint function, and better long-term outcomes.
This achievement demonstrates the remarkable fusion of cutting-edge medical technology and precision engineering, opening the door to more patient-specific orthopaedic solutions in the future.
