A new hip at 96!

Among the many high risk orthopaedic surgeries frequently conducted at Bombay Hospital, one that comes to mind immediately was the one performed on a very prominent leader. The patient had a complex fracture in the hip bone and a complete hip replacement was necessary. What drastically increased the risk factor was the patients’ age – the former leader was 96 years old then. Having taken the necessary precautions, a team of doctors conducted a Complete Hip Replacement surgery that lasted 6 to 7 hrs. So successful was the operation that he walked without any discomfort until he passed away at the ripe old age of 100.
