Injuries by the dozen

Injuries by the dozen
On Thursday, May 21, Shah Rukh Khan underwent arthroscopy surgery on his left knee at Breach Candy Hospital. Speaking to Mirror, senior orthopaedic surgeon, Dr. Sanjay Desai said, “A fortnight ago Mr Khan consulted me for a prolonged knee problem. He'd been in pain for over seven years. I've treated him with pain relief medicines and injections, but following repeated injuries, the pain has worsened.

Over the last eight months, I've given him two injection to reduce the swelling. This time I have decided to do arthroscopy to understand the extent of damage so we can decide on the future course of action.” Yesterday he was operated upon. The two-hour surgery confirmed Chondral Wear of Patella (knee-cap). Small cuts were made to insert a tiny camera and surgical tools into the knee for the procedure. “I cleaned up the damaged part, removed dead and infected tissues. He should be discharged tomorrow. I've advised him to rest for a month, not to do any stunts.” SRK's been shooting nonstop, from Chennai Express to Happy New Year to Fan and Raees will be on a forced break now. - MMB
