After suffering from osteoarthritis for over 10 years, a patient from Cengkareng could no longer bear the pain. Their daily activities were disrupted, and even sleeping became a struggle. Eventually, the patient sought treatment at Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri and consulted with dr. Paulus Ronald Hibono Sp.OT (K) Hip & Knee, leading to the decision to undergo Total Knee Replacement (TKR) on both knees.

Over a Decade Battling Osteoarthritis: A Life-Changing Surgery
This Cengkareng-based patient successfully underwent bilateral knee joint replacement surgery with dr. Paulus Ronald Hibono at Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri. The procedure offered a definitive solution to the osteoarthritis that had severely affected the patient’s quality of life for more than ten years.
For over a decade, the patient experienced worsening knee pain that made daily movements increasingly difficult. Walking became a challenge, and even bending the knees caused intense discomfort. The pain was so severe that even sleeping with legs fully extended became unbearable, with a pain scale reaching 9 out of 10.
The primary reason for surgery was the severe thinning—and near disappearance—of the cartilage that cushions the knee joints, resulting in bone-on-bone friction and intense pain. After consulting several doctor friends and receiving multiple recommendations for dr. Paulus Ronald Hibono, known for his excellent results in similar cases, the patient decided to proceed.
The patient chose Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri for the surgery and underwent the procedure using the CORI robotic-assisted technology for enhanced precision.
Post-Surgery Recovery with dr. Paulus: Remarkable Results
The outcome was remarkable. Just three days after surgery, the patient was already able to walk with a walker. The robotic-assisted system significantly enhanced the procedure’s accuracy and contributed to a faster recovery.
Both knees were replaced in a single operation lasting six hours, from 7:00 AM to 1:00 PM. By day six, the patient was walking independently without a walker.
Although initially nervous, the patient felt reassured after speaking with dr. Paulus, whose compassionate and realistic explanations eased concerns. His expertise in robotic-assisted knee replacement helped ensure a smooth recovery process.
