Robert Walter Beeney was not competent to walk due to a stiff hip when he landed in India January 24. Twenty days afterward, he not only improved after a atypical hip substitution surgery at Apollo Hospital here but also visited the famous Tag Mahan in Agra after that. So India is now becoming well known for its medical tourism.
The 64-year-old real estate expert from San Francisco underwent flourishing surface substitution surgery using the anatomic surface replacement (ASR) hip system January 27, purportedly becoming the first US national to come to India for the cure.
A medical team of doctors, headed by orthopaedic surgery treatment specialist Vijay Bose, sustained the procedure for Beeney.
Jayaramchander Pingle, a member of the medical
team, told a news seminar that while in
the usual hip replacement surgery, the total
hip was replaced, in the new system, the
patient's unique head and neck of femur
were conserved and only their surface is
replaced with metal on metal enunciation.
All these depict that India is now emerging
as a medical treatment hub also.
