Journey of a Swimmer | Dr. Samarth Arya | Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road

An avid swimmer’s life was restored after expert care at Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road. While swimming in the Tungabhadra River, he suffered a severe injury where his hand tendon detached from the bone, and his muscles snapped. An MRI revealed a Bicep Tendon Rupture. Seeking treatment, he consulted Dr. Samarth Arya, Consultant in Orthopaedic & Robotic Joint Replacement Surgery, who identified extensive retraction due to the patient's significant bicep muscle mass. A tendon repair surgery was performed, successfully reattaching the tendon to the forearm bone. Following physiotherapy, the swimmer has regained full functionality and expresses his gratitude to the doctors and medical team at Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road for their life-restoring care.
