Hip Replacement Surgery
Hip Replacement is a surgical procedure, performed for replacing diseased hipjoints with an artificial interface.
The durability of an artificial joint varies depending on the interface, technique and usage by the patient, besides other factors. About 95% of the joints are working fine, at the end of 10 years and 80% are OK, at the end of 20 years.
After this period the artificial joints can become loose and might need to be re-operated with a fresh implant. This procedure is called a Revision Joint Replacement Surgery and is technically more demanding.
DePuy & Zimmer have now introduced the new High Flex Knee that allows squatting on the floor to suit Indian requirements. This technique is now available at Apollo and Guest Hospital, Chennai
I have personally done over 700 Total Knee Replacement Surgeries and 400 Total Hip Replacements in the last 20 years of practice in UK and India. I also do Hip Resurfacing Surgery, Shoulder, Elbow and UniCondylar Knee Replacement at our Centre. Revision surgery for old failed surgeries are also performed.
