An American citizen from New York Mr.Leonard Battipaglia underwent a hipresurfacing in Chennai with Dr. A.K.Venkatachalam. The affordable treatment provided saved him a lot of money.

Mr. Leonard Battipaglia.

In a vote of confidence for Indian surgeon Dr. Venkatachalam, an American citizen

joined a long line of foreigners to undergo a Joint replacement. New Yorker, Mr. Leonard

Battipaglia recently underwent a hip resurfacing for an arthritic hip. He will soon return

to have his second hip also treated by the same surgeon. He is scheduled to undergo a

Proxima hip replacement on that side.

Mr. Battipaglia had faced frustrating times with American doctors. Nearly for two years

ago, he had been approaching the prestigious Lennon Hill hospital in New York with

thigh and knee pain. Every time he was shooed away by a junior doctor without

undergoing an x ray even. Finally an X ray revealed that he had advanced hip arthritis in

both hips. He was refused a total hip replacement. Unable to bear the pain, Leonard then

searched for other options.

He zeroed in Indian Orthopaedic surgeon, Dr. A.K.Venkatachalam for his expertise in hip

resurfacing.

He arrived in Chennai with his wife and was accorded a warm welcome at Chennai

airport on the night of the Mumbai blasts.

Within a day of arrival, he went under the knife of Dr. Venakatachalam. The surgeon

performed a hip resurfacing on his right hip.

The left hip was destroyed beyond a hip resurfacing and will have a Proxima hip

replacement shortly.

After enjoying another week’s holiday at a seaside resort, the couple has returned to

Spain for recuperation.

Chris Browne's Hip resurfacing in India with Dr.Venkatachalam

Chris Browne’s Hip resurfacing story with Dr. Venkatachalam

http://www.hipsurgery.in

A British gentleman underwent a hip resurfacing with Dr.A.K. Venkatachalam. He chose this surgeon for his expertise and affordability.

A 56 year old British gentleman Mr.Chris Browne, settled in Greece underwent a hip resurfacing in a Chennai private hospital. The operation was performed by Orthopaedic surgeon Dr.A.K.Venkatachalam. Mr.Browne learnt about Dr.Venkatachalam after his name was recommended by former patients in England and Greece. He chose India for his surgery rather than Britain for the reasons of high quality service and competitive cost. The surgery was performed in a state of the art operation theatre in a private hospital. Two days later the patient is thrilled by the surgery is totally pain free and has already started walking.

Hip resurfacing is the preferred operation for Hip arthritis in young and middle aged patients. It conserves bone and conversion to a total hip replacement is possible at a later date when this prosthesis wears out. A full range of movement is possible without any risk of dislocation.

Mr. Browne reckons that he wore out his hip through sports. Chris is eager to return to jogging, Yoga and Bungee jumping.

Medical treatment in India continues to attract patients even in the face of the world wide recession. Some Indian surgeons like Dr.A.K.Venkatachalam, offer high quality recent advances in surgery. Indian hospitals are also geared up to treat the discerning overseas patients with fantastic infra structure, top class service. Costs of treatment in India are the cheapest amongst world wide medical tourism destinations. Some Indian surgeons possess qualifications and skills acquired abroad in the UK and USA. Doctors and staff speak excellent English. Any Western patient can expect to get 60- 80 percent savings on a most advanced hip resurfacing. A Hip resurfacing procedure that costs about 50000 USD in the US costs only 8000 USD for a one week stay. A Total knee replacement is also available for 8000- 10,000 US dollars. Some of the latest advances like the Oxinium knee are available.
