Rotary Club of Bhilwara organised a public awareness health program along with a medical camp related to knee joint pains and injuries on 27th October’ 2007. Saumya Orthocare sent its consultant Dr Deepak Goyal for this social event. The public awareness program turned out to be a huge favourite amongst residents of the city of Bhilwara and nearby areas in the state of Rajasthan. The organisers were forced to extend the working hours of the medical camp as a big crowd turn up for the event and they wanted best solutions for their problems. Dr Goyal was pleased to see more than 125 patients till late in the evening and offer them the suitable solutions. The camp organisers arranged free x-ray facilities for the needy patients and also organised for the free medicines. 

Dainik Bhaskar, a leading newspaper of the state of Rajasthan also interviewed Dr Goyal on the occasion and asked for the best option to treat young age osteoarthritis. Dr Goyal stressed that patients suffering from early to moderate osteoarthritis are the best candidates for ‘Knee Repair Surgeries’. However, this option should only be exercised when non-operative treatment options have exhausted. The best age to do a ‘Knee Repair Surgery’ is between 40- 60 years of age and with stage II- III arthritis of the knee.

We hope that this social event helped a bit to educated the society. We also thank Rotary Club of Bhilwara to give us this important opportunity.
