Hi guys, would like to shout out for my orthopaedic surgeon Dr Yong Yuan Shyh. I twisted my knee 3 weeks ago when I was playing basketball, I thought is small injury duh, till 2nd week, my swelling gone 70% but I still can't fully bend my knee lack of 30 degree.
So I went for specialist seeking for advise.
1. Dr Chan Kin Yuen, Gleneagle Ampang
2. Dr Yong Yuan Shyh, Columbia Asia Setapak
Scanned MRI, confirmed ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) torn, need reconstruction. Fee quote is 35k at Gleneagle & 30k at Columbia. Fee is not my main concern as covered under my insurance. Operating 2.5hours.
At first I have doubt whether should go on surgery as:-
1. Rehab is long 3weeks light walk (need crutches), 3 months back jogging, 6months-1year back sport
2. Pain
3. Lost 30% of stability
After seeking both doc advise, it may further damage my knee in long run so I have decided did mine on 23Dec under Dr Yong Yuan Shyh. Graft hamstring.
Today is my 4th day after surgery and I'm discharge today.
- Pain is almost none! Its KEYHOLE surgery, wound is very small.
- I can still feel my leg muscle, power.
- Hospital facility is good, Wifi is blazing fast stream Youtube Astro live feed, food is great, nurse is lenglui.
Feeling great to walk again soon & thats my experience share with u guys. Ciao!
