Kolkata doctors have successfully restored mobility in a 61-year-old woman from Dhanbad who had been bedridden with paralysis of both lower limbs for nearly 10 months.

The patient, a known case of Ankylosing Spondylitis, a chronic inflammatory condition that causes the spine to become rigid and fragile, presented with a T10–T11 fracture with Anderson lesion, a highly unstable spinal injury affecting all three columns of the spine. Her condition had led to significant neurological compromise, with lower limb power reduced to 1–2/5, indicating minimal movement and severe weakness.
