Meru Teaching and Referral Hospital (MeTRH) recently achieved a major milestone in orthopedic care by successfully performing a complex revision total hip replacement.
The surgery was led by Dr. Kinyua Ndegwa, Head of Surgery and experienced orthopedic surgeon, supported by a multidisciplinary team.
Revision hip surgery is one of the most demanding orthopedic procedures, involving the removal of a failed joint, reconstruction of bone using grafts, and placement of a new, long-lasting prosthesis.
The team at MeTRH completed the intricate operation in four hours, demonstrating advanced surgical expertise and meticulous planning.
Over the past year, MeTRH has steadily grown as a center of orthopedic excellence, performing joint replacements with modern equipment, skilled personnel, and comprehensive care. Patients in Meru and nearby counties now have access to specialized orthopedic services without the need to travel elsewhere.
Dr. Ndegwa encourages individuals suffering from joint injuries, advanced arthritis, or failed implants to seek care at MeTRH, where high-quality joint replacement and revision surgeries are now safely and effectively offered. This advancement promises improved mobility and a better quality of life for patients in the region.
