Successful Orthopaedic Surgical Management of a 95-Year-Old Patient at Index Multi Super Speciality Hospital

Index Multi Super Speciality Hospital has once again reaffirmed its commitment to excellence in advanced orthopaedic care through the successful surgical management of a 95-year-old female patient, Mrs. Keshar Bai, who sustained a fracture of the right intertrochanteric (IT) femur. The injury occurred on 22 December 2025 following an accidental fall while walking on a hard surface. Considering the patient’s advanced age and associated surgical risks, the case required prompt evaluation, precise planning, and expert clinical judgment. Upon admission, the patient was thoroughly assessed in the Department of Orthopaedics at Index Medical College and Hospital under the leadership of Lt Col (Dr) Ajay Singh Thakur, Head of the Department, ensuring a comprehensive and patient-centric approach to care. After detailed clinical and radiological evaluation, the orthopaedic team elected to perform a Closed Reduction and Internal Fixation (CRIF) using a Short Proximal Femoral Nail (PFN). This evidence-based surgical approach was selected to achieve stable fixation, facilitate early mobilization, and minimize postoperative complications, which are critical considerations in geriatric patients. The procedure was meticulously planned and executed by an experienced surgical team using advanced operative techniques and modern infrastructure. The surgery was completed successfully with minimal blood loss and without any intraoperative complications, underscoring the team’s technical expertise and adherence to the highest standards of surgical safety and quality. In the postoperative period, the patient is hemodynamically stable, conscious, and under continuous multidisciplinary monitoring to support a safe and effective recovery. The successful outcome of this high-risk orthopaedic intervention reflects Index Multi Super Speciality Hospital’s unwavering focus on clinical excellence, patient safety, and compassionate care. By integrating skilled medical professionals, state-of-the-art technology, and evidence-based practices, the hospital continues to deliver superior healthcare outcomes, even in complex cases involving elderly and high-risk patients, thereby reinforcing its reputation as a leading center for advanced orthopaedic and multispecialty care..
