Acibadem Ataşehir Hospital Helps Guinean Patient Walk Again
22 Apr 2025

Thanks to expert care by the Acibadem team, 57-year-old Diané Sarangbe from Guinea is walking again - pain-free - for the first time in years.

 

Where others saw risk, Acibadem Ataşehir Hospital’s Orthopaedics and Traumatology specialist Professor Burak Akan saw hope. Using state-of-the-art facilities and advanced surgical techniques, Professor Burak Akan and his team performed a complex revision hip surgery on Diane, enabling her to walk freely again.

The 57-year-old patient had undergone a left hip replacement in Guinea four years earlier but continued to experience persistent pain and worsening mobility over the years. When a recent X-ray confirmed that the original prosthesis had loosened, her doctor recommended Acibadem Ataşehir Hospital in Türkiye for advanced care.

After a thorough assessment, Professor Burak Akan and his team replaced the damaged implant with a cutting-edge trabecular metal prosthesis, which offers not just relief but renewed longevity, with a product lifespan of 20 to 25 years.

“After her operation, she did not need intensive care, she was admitted to the patient room and 5 hours later, she started walking with a walker,” said Professor Burak Akan. “During her hospitalisation, we managed her pain and taught her to walk, stand and lie down in bed. Four days later, we discharged her from the hospital. She was very happy. After four years, she finally feels no pain and can walk freely.”

Diane’s journey is a testament to what is possible when precision care meets compassion.

Today, both husband and wife are passionate advocates for Acibadem’s world-class care which blends medical expertise, advanced technology, and a patient-centred approach. Well done Team Acibadem.
