These costs are a standard and might not have been the real cost to be incurred.
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.
