A typical estimate for total hip replacement in Gurgaon is around $8,000 (about ₹7.59 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 $6,750 (about ₹6.40 lakh). It is likely to be nearer $9,000 (about ₹8.54 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 total hip replacement, check whether each quote includes:

• Surgeon and anaesthetist fees

A total hip replacement replaces both the ball and the socket of the hip joint with artificial parts, most commonly for severe arthritis pain and stiffness.

Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust states that about 19 in every 20 people are satisfied with the outcome one year after surgery.

National Joint Registry figures quoted by the trust show about 96% of hip replacements lasting 10 years and about 92% lasting 18 years.

For every 1,000 people, the Hull leaflet reports about 10 infections and 7 dislocations within a year, about 10 with unequal leg length, and about 6 blood clots within three months.

The majority of people leave hospital the same or the next day, pain normally eases within three to four weeks, driving is normally possible after about six weeks and full recovery takes 6 to 12 months.

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 total 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.
• Approach: standard or minimally invasive.
• Stay: same day to a few days.
• Physiotherapy: after surgery.

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