Patient Reviews

Disease:
Artificial Left Knee Joint Replacement Surgery

Description of Condition:

Two years ago, my mother began experiencing pain in her left knee. In the latter half of last year, walking became somewhat difficult. Early this year, during a check-up with Dr. Li, he recommended artificial left knee joint replacement surgery to restore normal life. This time, my 81-year-old mother hesitated because my father, who suffered a cerebral infarction and cannot walk, now lives in a nursing home. Additionally, as her son residing abroad, I cannot return long-term to accompany her through surgery and recovery.

Treatment Process:

Upon learning of this situation, Dr. Li explained the required hospitalization duration and postoperative recovery period. He also scheduled the surgery according to my return timeframe. Dr. Li personally performed this artificial left knee joint replacement surgery, which was again highly successful. The surgery took place on the morning of April 23.

Recovery Situation:

The next afternoon, my mother could walk with a walker; on the third day, she walked with my support; on the fourth day, she used a rehabilitation bicycle. On the sixth postoperative day (April 28), my mother was smoothly discharged. After several days of recovery and training, by May 2, she could walk independently without support or a walker. As of today, May 11, she has essentially returned to normal and can manage daily life independently.
I also researched the required duration for artificial left knee joint replacement surgery in Japan, where I reside. In Japan, unilateral artificial left knee joint replacement surgery requires 2–3 weeks of hospitalization, with independent daily living taking over 4 weeks. In contrast, my mother’s hospitalization lasted only 1 week, and she achieved independent daily living within 3 weeks post-surgery.

Disease:
Hip Replacement Surgery

Description of Condition:

The patient is my 90-year-old mother. In December 2023, she accidentally fell at home, resulting in a femoral neck fracture. The treating hospital struggled to finalize a surgical plan due to her comorbid heart failure (with cardiac markers exceeding 10,000) and severe osteoporosis. However, the patient could not wait any longer. Our family immediately contacted Dr. Li Guodong at Shanghai Tenth People’s Hospital. Dr. Li thoroughly and patiently addressed all our concerns. His statement—”Professional matters require finding the right professional doctor; leave it to the experts”—instilled confidence in our entire family.

Treatment Process:

We transferred to his hospital the next day. Following Dr. Li’s masterful 30-minute surgery and meticulous hospital care:

Recovery Situation:

My mother stood up within 3 days post-surgery. Now, after just over 2 months, she can walk approximately 50 meters without a walker. We extend our deepest gratitude to Dr. Li—”With miraculous hands and benevolent heart, he showcases excellence; with masterful skill and compassion, he mends broken bones.” A truly boundless healer!

Disease:
Minimally invasive joint surgery

Description of Condition:

The right joint was swollen and severely deformed. The pain has persisted for over ten years. Difficulty in walking even caused me to feel mentally disoriented, among other issues.

Treatment Process:

Recommended by a classmate. I’m from Melbourne, Australia. I gave up years of waiting in line locally and came to Shanghai Tenth People’s Hospital for surgery performed by Director Li Guodong.

Recovery Situation:

After being discharged, under the guidance of Director Li’s team, my recovery has been excellent. I’m very satisfied with the outcome.

Disease:
Total Knee Replacement Surgery for Both Sides

Description of Condition:

Both of my knees had been painfully swollen and severely deformed for over a decade.

Treatment Process:

Admitted to the hospital the same day. Diagnosis confirmed the need for double knee replacement, and surgery was performed in the afternoon. Seven days later, the second knee replacement was done.

Recovery Situation:

After the first knee surgery, I could walk with the second leg. After the second knee surgery, the recovery was similar to the first. Now, following the rehabilitation training guided by Dr. Li, I can walk freely with both legs.

Disease:
Rotator Cuff Minimally Invasive Surgery

Description of Condition:

In June 2022, due to pain, I had an MRI at a local hospital and was diagnosed with a rotator cuff tear. The doctor prescribed painkillers and recommended conservative treatment. While taking the medicine, I also applied plasters and did moxibustion, but the effect was not obvious, and the pain persisted. On November 24th, I went to another local hospital for an MRI, which diagnosed a rotator cuff injury. They performed an intra – articular injection as treatment, but the pain worsened as the Spring Festival approached. I woke up several times at night due to the pain and really couldn’t fall asleep! Through a friend’s recommendation, I got in touch with Dr. Li.

Treatment Process:

After Dr. Li reviewed my MRI images online, he immediately diagnosed that bone spurs had caused acromion impingement, leading to a rotator cuff tendon tear, and that minimally invasive surgery could be performed! With Dr. Li’s patient explanations and guidance, I had an in – person consultation with him on January 16, 2023. After that, I completed the hospital admission procedures, and the surgery was scheduled the next day.

Recovery Situation:

On the third day, I could start climbing the wall with my post – operative arm under the doctor’s guidance! Today is the fifth day after my surgery, and I can clearly feel that my recovery is getting better and better. By sticking to wall – climbing exercises every day, my progress is very remarkable! The range of motion of my arm is vastly different from before the surgery! My life is full of hope again! Looking back on my medical journey, I feel extremely fortunate to have met Dr. Li! I am grateful to Teacher Gu who recommended Dr. Li to me, and to Dr. Li and his team. Their exquisite skills, humble demeanor, and patient, meticulous guidance gave me the courage to face the surgery, motivated me to actively exercise after the surgery, and helped me regain my health!

Disease:
Hip Replacement Surgery

Description of Condition:

I have been suffering from hip joint pain and difficulty walking for a long time. Three years ago, I was diagnosed with avascular necrosis of the femoral head. I was afraid of surgery, so I kept putting it off. Recently, I really couldn’t walk anymore, so as a last resort, I found Director Li through a recommendation.

Treatment Process:

After looking at my X-rays, he immediately admitted me to the hospital and reassured me, saying that hip replacement surgery is very mature and minimally invasive, so I shouldn’t be afraid, and that he would perform the surgery! The surgery was on September 1st, and I was discharged home on the 7th, with no pain throughout. On the first day after surgery, I got out of bed and took a few steps, and on the second day, I used the toilet with the caregiver’s assistance.

Recovery Situation:

Now I’m recuperating at home. I can walk with the help of assistive devices, get out of bed and go to the toilet on my own. I will have a follow-up visit in 2 weeks. Director Li Guodong is anxious to address patients’ urgency, relieves patients’ pain, always puts patients first, and is an excellent doctor with superb medical skills!

Treatment Process:
Upon learning of this situation, Dr. Li explained the required hospitalization duration and postoperative recovery period. He also scheduled the surgery according to my return timeframe. Dr. Li personally performed this artificial left knee joint replacement surgery, which was again highly successful. The surgery took place on the morning of April 23.
Recovery Status:
The next afternoon, my mother could walk with a walker; on the third day, she walked with my support; on the fourth day, she used a rehabilitation bicycle. On the sixth postoperative day (April 28), my mother was smoothly discharged. After several days of recovery and training, by May 2, she could walk independently without support or a walker. As of today, May 11, she has essentially returned to normal and can manage daily life independently. I also researched the required duration for artificial left knee joint replacement surgery in Japan, where I reside. In Japan, unilateral artificial left knee joint replacement surgery requires 2–3 weeks of hospitalization, with independent daily living taking over 4 weeks. In contrast, my mother’s hospitalization lasted only 1 week, and she achieved independent daily living within 3 weeks post-surgery.
Surgery: Artificial Left Knee Joint Replacement Surgery Description of Condition:
Two years ago, my mother began experiencing pain in her left knee. In the latter half of last year, walking became somewhat difficult. Early this year, during a check-up with Dr. Li, he recommended artificial left knee joint replacement surgery to restore normal life. This time, my 81-year-old mother hesitated because my father, who suffered a cerebral infarction and cannot walk, now lives in a nursing home. Additionally, as her son residing abroad, I cannot return long-term to accompany her through surgery and recovery.

Surgery: Hip Replacement Surgery Description of Condition:
The patient is my 90-year-old mother. In December 2023, she accidentally fell at home, resulting in a femoral neck fracture. The treating hospital struggled to finalize a surgical plan due to her comorbid heart failure (with cardiac markers exceeding 10,000) and severe osteoporosis. However, the patient could not wait any longer. Our family immediately contacted Dr. Li Guodong at Shanghai Tenth People’s Hospital. Dr. Li thoroughly and patiently addressed all our concerns. His statement—”Professional matters require finding the right professional doctor; leave it to the experts”—instilled confidence in our entire family.
Treatment Process:
We transferred to his hospital the next day. Following Dr. Li’s masterful 30-minute surgery and meticulous hospital care:
Recovery Status:
My mother stood up within 3 days post-surgery. Now, after just over 2 months, she can walk approximately 50 meters without a walker. We extend our deepest gratitude to Dr. Li—”With miraculous hands and benevolent heart, he showcases excellence; with masterful skill and compassion, he mends broken bones.” A truly boundless healer!

Surgery: Minimally invasive joint surgery Description of Condition:
The right joint was swollen and severely deformed. The pain has persisted for over ten years. Difficulty in walking even caused me to feel mentally disoriented, among other issues.
Treatment Process:
Recommended by a classmate. I’m from Melbourne, Australia. I gave up years of waiting in line locally and came to Shanghai Tenth People’s Hospital for surgery performed by Director Li Guodong.
Recovery Status:
After being discharged, under the guidance of Director Li’s team, my recovery has been excellent. I’m very satisfied with the outcome.

Surgery: Hip Replacement Surgery Description of Condition:
I have been suffering from hip joint pain and difficulty walking for a long time. Three years ago, I was diagnosed with avascular necrosis of the femoral head. I was afraid of surgery, so I kept putting it off. Recently, I really couldn’t walk anymore, so as a last resort, I found Director Li through a recommendation.
Treatment Process:
After looking at my X-rays, he immediately admitted me to the hospital and reassured me, saying that hip replacement surgery is very mature and minimally invasive, so I shouldn’t be afraid, and that he would perform the surgery! The surgery was on September 1st, and I was discharged home on the 7th, with no pain throughout. On the first day after surgery, I got out of bed and took a few steps, and on the second day, I used the toilet with the caregiver’s assistance.
Recovery Status:
Now I’m recuperating at home. I can walk with the help of assistive devices, get out of bed and go to the toilet on my own. I will have a follow-up visit in 2 weeks. Director Li Guodong is anxious to address patients’ urgency, relieves patients’ pain, always puts patients first, and is an excellent doctor with superb medical skills!

Surgery:
Total Knee Replacement Surgery for Both Sides
Description of Condition:

Both of my knees had been painfully swollen and severely deformed for over a decade.

Treatment Process:
Admitted to the hospital the same day. Diagnosis confirmed the need for double knee replacement, and surgery was performed in the afternoon. Seven days later, the second knee replacement was done.
Recovery Status:
After the first knee surgery, I could walk with the second leg. After the second knee surgery, the recovery was similar to the first. Now, following the rehabilitation training guided by Dr. Li, I can walk freely with both legs.

Surgery: Rotator Cuff Minimally Invasive Surgery Description of Condition:
In June 2022, due to pain, I had an MRI at a local hospital and was diagnosed with a rotator cuff tear. The doctor prescribed painkillers and recommended conservative treatment. While taking the medicine, I also applied plasters and did moxibustion, but the effect was not obvious, and the pain persisted. On November 24th, I went to another local hospital for an MRI, which diagnosed a rotator cuff injury. They performed an intra – articular injection as treatment, but the pain worsened as the Spring Festival approached. I woke up several times at night due to the pain and really couldn’t fall asleep! Through a friend’s recommendation, I got in touch with Dr. Li.
Treatment Process:
After Dr. Li reviewed my MRI images online, he immediately diagnosed that bone spurs had caused acromion impingement, leading to a rotator cuff tendon tear, and that minimally invasive surgery could be performed! With Dr. Li’s patient explanations and guidance, I had an in – person consultation with him on January 16, 2023. After that, I completed the hospital admission procedures, and the surgery was scheduled the next day.
Recovery Status:
On the third day, I could start climbing the wall with my post – operative arm under the doctor’s guidance! Today is the fifth day after my surgery, and I can clearly feel that my recovery is getting better and better. By sticking to wall – climbing exercises every day, my progress is very remarkable! The range of motion of my arm is vastly different from before the surgery! My life is full of hope again! Looking back on my medical journey, I feel extremely fortunate to have met Dr. Li! I am grateful to Teacher Gu who recommended Dr. Li to me, and to Dr. Li and his team. Their exquisite skills, humble demeanor, and patient, meticulous guidance gave me the courage to face the surgery, motivated me to actively exercise after the surgery, and helped me regain my health!
