Hip Resurfacing in India: A Smart Choice for Mobility and Savings

Hip Resurfacing in India

Hip resurfacing is a total hip replacement procedure that conserves the bone, which fits well in younger, more active, patients whose condition affecting the hip joints includes osteoarthritis or avascular necrosis. It is because it has the quality level of care and qualified orthopedic surgeons and affordable prices that India has become the destination country on hip resurfacing.

What is Hip Resurfacing?

Hip resurfacing is a surgery where the surfaces of broken down hip are chiseled and covered with a rounded dome shaped cover of metals as opposed to the removal of complete femoral head and socket in total hip replacement surgery.

• Preserves more bone, than traditional replacement
• Open to youthful patients who are active (below 60 years of age)
• Faster healing and larger mobility
• Easier revision in future in case required

Factors Affecting Affordable hip resurfacing India

These are the critical determinants of affordable hip resurfacing in India between the foreign and domestic patients:

Name and Kind of Implant Used

• Hip resurfacing surgery is very expensive and it is based essentially on the implant system (Birmingham Hip Resurfacing (BHR), Cormet, and so on).
• Indian or generic implants are cheap in comparison to International brands (Smith and Nephew, Zimmer-Biomet).
• Metal-on-metal implants which are commonly used in resurfacing vary in terms of quality and cost.

Hospital Choice

• Tier-1 cities (Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore) tend to duly increase the price on basis of fame and facilities.
• A similar standard can be obtained at a lower charge in tier-2 cities (Coimbatore, Nagpur, Jaipur).
• The Corporate hospitals (Apollo, Fortis, Max) are expensive as compared to the smaller speciality clinics or the government hospitals.

Experience and Reputation of Surgeon

• Highly experienced surgeons (given that they are internationally recognized and are also very skilled at what they do will be charged at a premium.
• International trained surgeons and those who are renowned to perform minimally invasive surgery may also be more expensive.
• Nevertheless, senior surgeons are more likely to record better results and faster healing, which would reduce the price in the long term.

Technology and nature of Surgery

• Conventional resurfacing and Robotic-assisted resurfacing: High-cost robotic/computer-guided techniques are more precise.
• Minimally invasive procedures may increase the cost of hospital time but does reduce hospital stay.

Hospital stay duration

• Typical hospitalization: 35 days in hospital with hip resurfacing.
• The price is higher with long stay due to complications (e.g. infections, delay in managing the wound).
• Cost is also affected by room type (shared, semi-private, personal, deluxe).

Preoperative care / Postoperative care

• The price is attributed to pre-surgery assessment (X-ray, MRI, CT scans).
• It is essential to include post-operative physiotherapy and meds that can facilitate the process of recovery.
• The final bill can be influenced by rehab care centers or in-facility physiotherapy (in case one is selected).
