Fracture reduction and fixation Cost in Gurgaon, India

The cost of fracture reduction and fixation in Gurgaon typically ranges from $620 to $6,000 USD (about ₹58,800 to ₹5.69 lakh), depending on the hospital, room category and type of procedure.

A typical estimate for fracture reduction and fixation in Gurgaon is around $2,000 (about ₹1.90 lakh). What you pay depends mainly on your own case. If a standard implant is used and you stay in a shared room, your bill is likely to be closer to $620 (about ₹58,800). It is likely to be nearer $6,000 (about ₹5.69 lakh) if a specialised implant is used, both sides are treated, it is a repeat operation or you choose a private room.

When comparing Gurgaon packages for fracture reduction and fixation, check whether each quote includes:

• Surgeon and anaesthetist fees
• Operating theatre or procedure room
• Implants, plates or screws
• Physiotherapy
• Hospital stay and room category
• Medicines and consumables
• Follow-up visits before you fly home

Fracture reduction and fixation puts a broken bone back into line (reduction) and holds it there (fixation), either from outside with a cast or frame or from inside with plates, screws, nails or wires.

The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) says that internal fixation holds broken pieces of bone in line from inside the body using plates, screws, rods (nails) or wires.

Wires and pins are normally taken out later, whereas plates, screws and nails commonly stay in unless they cause trouble.

The AAOS points out that internal fixation can shorten the admission, allow an earlier return to normal use and lower the number of fractures that heal poorly or out of line.

Possible complications include infection, non-union, malunion, implant breakage and, rarely, nickel allergy, and healing time depends on the bone and general health.

Flying home: aviation guidance sets no single wait for bone and joint operations, but leg surgery makes clots on long flights more likely, so ask how to prevent them; UK Civil Aviation Authority medical guidance suggests 24 to 48 hours after a plaster cast.

A Gurgaon quote for fracture reduction and fixation is normally made up of these items:

• Tests before the operation: X-rays, other scans and an anaesthetic check.
• Theatre and anaesthetic: charged mainly by operating time.
• Implant choice: brand and type of joint, plate or screws.
• Rehabilitation: physiotherapy on the ward and once you leave.
• Fracture: bone and type.
• Reduction: closed or open.
• Implants: plates, screws, nails or wires.
• Admission: emergency or planned.

Fracture costs depend on the bone, the implants and whether surgery is urgent, so it is worth asking the Gurgaon hospital for an itemised quote once X-rays are done.

Orthopaedic departments in Gurgaon cover joint replacement, arthroscopy and trauma, usually with in-house physiotherapy so that patients start moving soon after surgery.

NABH, the hospital accreditation board of the Quality Council of India whose standards carry ISQua accreditation, sets the national benchmark for hospitals, and its online directory shows whether a Gurgaon hospital's accreditation is still current.

Gurgaon is part of Delhi NCR, where India's first hospital to gain Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation did so in 2005, and JCI publishes a searchable list of the organisations it currently accredits.
