If anything, increased demand on hip replacement at Delhi in India due to medical tourism may result in their expansion. Hip replacement generally takes one to two hours. It may be performed under a general or spinal anesthesia. During the procedure the surgeon will remove the damaged or diseased portion of the hipbone replacing it with an artificial hip joint). You will return from surgery with a large dressing on the hip area. You may be required to wear “anti-embolism” stockings to reduce the risk of developing blood clots. A small drainage tube will be placed during surgery to help drain excess fluids from the joint area. Rehabilitation and physical therapy are started immediately following surgery and continue throughout hospitalization and at home for one year after surgery.
Why is it done?
Relief from pain is the greatest benefit and the major reason for hip replacement surgery. Reasons for replacing all or part of the hip joint include: severe pain from arthritis or injury in the hip that limits an individual’s ability to do the things they want to do, fractures in the elderly of the neck of the femur, and the occurrence of hip joint tumors.
