Hip resurfacing also known as Laberal Tear is a surgical alternative to total hip replacement. In a traditional total hip replacement, the head of the thigh bone (femoral head) and the damaged socket (acetabulum) are both removed and replaced with metal, plastic or ceramic components. In hip resurfacing, the femoral head is not removed, but is instead trimmed and capped with a smooth metal covering. The damaged bone and cartilege within the socket is removed and replaced with a metal shell just as in a traditional total hip replacement surgery.
Healthcare in India is already very low as compares to western counteries. If you are suffering from hip pain and all conservative treatments like physiotherapy and medication have failed then Unilateral Hip Resurfacing Surgery is advised which costs approx 6500 - 7500 USD. Unilateral Hip Resurfacing Surgery is a better alternative to Total Hip Replacement as the recovery is much quicker. The hospital stay is 1-2 days and post surgery recovery takes 3-4 weeks for full movements of the hip joint if proper post surgery rehab is done.
For any Joint Surgery, post surgery rehab is extremely important. The surgeon might have done a perfect job but if proper physiotherapy is not done after the surgery then the results would not be as good. We give special emphasis on post surgery rehabilitation. Our team of physiotherapists start working with you while you are admitted at the hospital and continue to provide the rehab services once you are discharged from the hospital and move to the hotel or the guest house. The rehab programme for hip resurfacing surgery is 3-4 weeks within which full movements return.
