Hip resurfacing surgery in India with all medically advanced modern healthcare facilities is being provided to international as well as Indian patients. Patients are being provided with the facilities of the senior orthopedic surgeons having vast experience and successful profiles of performing numerous numbers of successful surgeries. Hip resurfacing is an alternative to traditional hip replacement in which the femoral head and acetabulum (hip socket) are resurfaced rather than replaced. As you may know, total hip replacement requires the removal of the femoral head and the insertion of a hip stem down the shaft of the femur. Hip resurfacing surgery in India is being offered at a very low cost to the patients opting to under go the surgery.
Hip resurfacing in India, on the other hand, preserves the femoral head and the femoral neck. During the procedure, your surgeon will only remove a few centimeters of bone around the femoral head, shaping it tightly inside the hip resurfacing implant. Your surgeon will also prepare the acetabulum for the metal cup that will form the socket portion of the ball-and-socket joint. While the resurfacing component slides over the top of the femoral head, the acetabular component is pressed into place much like a total hip replacement would be. Patient suitability for hip resurfacing is decided by the patient's anatomy and the patient's doctor. Hip resurfacing is intended for younger patients who are not morbidly obese, are clinically qualified for a hip replacement (determined by the doctor), have been diagnosed with noninflammatory degenerative joint disease, do not have an infection, and are not allergic to the metals used in the implant. Hip resurfacing should not be used on patients who have severe bone loss in their femoral head, those with large femoral neck cysts present (typically found at surgery), or patients who have poor bone stock in the acetabulum. Caution should be used for patients who have rheumatoid arthritis, are tall, thin, or small boned, those with osteonecrosis (poor blood supply) to the femoral head, or those with femoral head cysts > 1 cm on an x-ray taken before surgery.
