| I am
practicising as a neurosurgeon in south Delhi
for last 18 years. I sustained a fracture scaphoid
right wrist. I got scared as far as my knowledge
of scaphoid fracture was that it is notorious
for nonunion (not uniting) and avascular necrosis
(bone becoming dead). These thought are like nightmare
for neurosurgeon. It was then a came to know about
Dr Vikas Gupta who was fixing these fractures
percutaneously (without opening fracture) with
screws. When I approached him he was confident
that he would be able to fix my scaphoid with
this minimally invasive technique and scheduled
the surgery next day. Later I came to know that
he was first person to fix scaphoid percutaneously
in India. . I was able to start operating within
3 weeks of surgery. Presently I don’t have any
complaints in my right wrist. I wish Dr Vikas
Gupta all the best for all his future endeavors.
