AVN treatment in India- Stem cells, Mini hip replacement

AVN or avascular necrosis of hips is a common condition in India. The Times of India recently reported that there are 20 cases in 100000 of population. This is a sizeable number. It is a condition where the blood supply to the femoral head (uppermost part of thigh bone)gets shut off and causes the bone to collapse slowly. As the bone dies, the patient experiences excruciating pain and limited or no movement. Late cases can lead to arthritis of the hips.Stem cell treatment in early cases is a latest advance and has been proposed to prevent the disease from advancing further. If it does so and causes bone collapse,traditionally a total hip replacement has been recommended. We advocate a more conservative approach with a short stem hip replacement. This video explains the key differences between a short stem and total hip replacement.

Total Hip Replacement restores Nigerian's mobility.

Samuel, a young Nigerian male patient was referred to India for a total hip replacement. He found the service by his doctor highly satisfying.

Improper indications lead to early failure of hip resurfacing

A 49 year old man with secondary hip arthritis approached us for a hip replacement/ Hip resurfacing. He was suffering from Perthes disease. After seeing his x ray, I told him that he was not a suitable candidate for hip resurfacing. However he went to another surgeon who offered a hip resurfacing.
Interestingly within a span of one and half years, this poor man has developed pain in his hip. His latest x rays show thinning of the inferior portion of the neck and acetabular edge loading. This has probably lead to increased wear and metallosis leading to bony resorption.
This as leading hip surgeons should know is a disastrous complication. It leads to gross bony and soft tissue destruction.
No doubt he will need a revision to a total hip replacement soon.
