Partial Hip Replacement Surgery Cost in Gurgaon, India

The cost of partial hip replacement in Gurgaon typically ranges from $4,900 to $7,500 USD (about ₹4.65 lakh to ₹7.11 lakh), depending on the hospital, room category and type of procedure.

A typical estimate for partial hip replacement in Gurgaon is around $5,500 (about ₹5.22 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 $4,900 (about ₹4.65 lakh). It is likely to be nearer $7,500 (about ₹7.11 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 partial hip replacement, check whether each quote includes:

• Surgeon and anaesthetist fees
• Operating theatre or procedure room
• Implants, plates or screws
• Physiotherapy

A partial hip replacement (hemiarthroplasty) replaces only the ball of the hip joint and leaves the socket as it is, most commonly after a hip fracture.

Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust says that it is normally done after a hip fracture has cut off the blood supply to the ball of the hip, and fitter, more active people may be offered a total hip replacement instead.

Because a hip fracture needs prompt surgery, a partial hip replacement is seldom a planned medical trip.

The Royal Berkshire leaflet advises putting as much weight on the leg as is comfortable, beginning with a walking frame, and not crossing the legs for a minimum of six weeks because of a small risk of dislocation.

Swelling may last up to three months, driving is normally possible after about six weeks, and rehabilitation may continue at home or in a rehabilitation unit.

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 partial hip replacement 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.
• Rehabilitation: physiotherapy on the ward and once you leave.
• Implant: cemented or uncemented.
• Admission: commonly an emergency after a fracture.
• Stay: and rehabilitation.
• Physiotherapy: after surgery.

Ask each Gurgaon hospital for an itemised estimate showing the implant, surgeon, theatre, stay and physiotherapy, so offers can be compared fairly.

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.

Gurgaon sits on the south-western edge of Delhi, a short road transfer from Indira Gandhi International Airport, which is the usual arrival point for international patients.
