First Proxima hip for Renal transplant patient

In what could be a landmark operation in Hip replacements world wide, surgeons implanted a Proxima hip, a large diameter uncemented total hip in a young and active patient. TK, an advocate in his thirties was afflicted by renal disease since a young age. He had undergone two renal transplants to ameliorate suffering. Compulsory intake of steroid medication had led to Avascular necrosis or osteonecrosis of both hips. When Hip pain crippled him, he was referred to Dr.A.K.Venkatachalam, a senior orthopedic surgeon in Tamilnadu, India. He was advised the Proxima Hip, a latest implant for total hip replacement. Minimal invasive surgery was done through a posterior approach to the hip.
The patient has been discharged after only a seven day stay in hospital.
