Hip pain can steal the simplest pleasures from life—tying your shoes, taking a walk, or getting a good night’s sleep. If you’ve been relying on painkillers or walking with a limp, you know the frustration all too well.
At Medioasis, we believe you deserve better. We connect international patients with India’s finest orthopedic surgeons who specialize in giving people their lives back. Whether you need a total hip replacement or a minimally invasive procedure, we are here to make it affordable, safe, and stress-free.
India has become a global hub for orthopedics, particularly hip surgery, for several
compelling reasons:
High-Volume Surgeons: Indian surgeons perform hundreds of hip replacements annually, leading to exceptional precision and outcomes.
Advanced Techniques: From anterior approach to robotic-assisted surgery, India offers the latest innovations.
International Accreditations: Our partner hospitals are JCI and NABH accredited, meeting global safety standards.
Immediate Access: No waiting lists. Get your surgery scheduled within days of arrival.
One of the biggest advantages of choosing India is the significant cost savings without compromising on quality.
Single Hip Replacement: Starting from USD 5,300
Bilateral (Both Hips) Replacement: Starting from USD 9,500
Note: Final costs vary based on implant type (ceramic vs. metal), surgeon’s experience, and hospital location.
We believe in complete transparency. Here is exactly what our standard hip replacement package covers:
Answer: Ceramic implants are more expensive because they are highly durable, create
less friction, and produce virtually no metallic ions that could cause reactions in
sensitive patients. They are often recommended for younger, more active patients.
Metal implants are still excellent and cost-effective, but may have a slightly shorter
lifespan. Your surgeon will advise based on your age and activity level.
Answer: Generally, the surgical approach does not drastically change the base package
price at our partner hospitals. However, if you specifically request a surgeon who is a
specialist in the advanced anterior approach (muscle-sparing), there may be a slight
variation in surgeon fees due to the specialized expertise required.
Answer: No. Our package is designed to be all-inclusive during your hospital stay.
However, we recommend budgeting separately for:
● Physiotherapy after discharge: While initial physio in the hospital is included,
outpatient physio at your hotel may have a small daily fee.
● Personal attendant meals: Hospital food is included for the patient, but meals for
your accompanying family member are not.
Hip replacement, also known as Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) , is a procedure where damaged bone and cartilage are removed and replaced with prosthetic components. It is one of the most successful and cost-effective surgeries in modern medicine—over 450,000 are performed annually in the US alone.
Incision: The surgeon makes an incision to access the hip joint.
Preparation of Femur: The damaged femoral head (the "ball" at the top of the thigh bone) is removed.
Preparation of Acetabulum: The damaged cartilage is removed from the hip socket (acetabulum) and a metal shell is inserted.
Implant Placement: A new ball (made of ceramic or metal) is attached to a stem that is inserted into the femur. A smooth liner (plastic, ceramic, or metal) is placed between the new ball and socket for gliding.
Closure: The incision is closed, and you are moved to recovery.
Modern hip replacement offers several surgical approaches. The “best” one depends on your anatomy, the surgeon’s expertise, and your recovery goals.
Key Insight: The Anterior Approach is gaining popularity because it significantly reduces
the risk of hip dislocation after surgery, meaning you can move more freely without
worrying about crossing your legs.
Do you have hip pain even when resting or lying down at night?
Is it difficult to put on your shoes and socks?
Do you limp or need a cane to walk?
Have you tried physical therapy, injections, or medications without lasting relief?
Is your hip stiffness affecting your ability to work or enjoy life?
There is no strict age limit. We have successfully helped patients from their 30s (with juvenile arthritis) to their 90s.
Day of Surgery: You will be moved to recovery. Pain medication is administered.
Day 1 (Post-Op): Physical therapy begins! You will be helped to sit up, stand, and possibly take a few steps with a walker.
Day 2-3: You will practice walking, climbing stairs, and doing gentle exercises. Most patients switch from IV pain meds to oral meds.
Day 4-5 (Discharge): You will be discharged from the hospital to a hotel or recovery facility. You should be able to walk with a cane or walker.
Week 1-2 (Recovery Stay): Daily physiotherapy continues. You will gain strength and confidence. Stitches or staples are removed.
Week 3-4 (Return Home): DMost patients are fit to fly after 2-3 weeks. You will continue physiotherapy at home.
Long Term: Your new hip can last 15-25 years. Low-impact activities like swimming, golf, and walking are encouraged.
This is one of the most common questions patients ask. Here is a simple comparison:
Pros: Excellent visibility for the surgeon, tried and tested for decades.
Cons: Requires "hip precautions" (no bending past 90 degrees, no crossing legs) for 6-8 weeks to prevent dislocation.
Pros: No muscles cut—only moved aside. Less pain, faster recovery, fewer dislocation precautions.
Cons: Requires specialized table and training; not all surgeons perform it.
Our Role: Medioasis will connect you with surgeons who specialize in the approach that
best suits your lifestyle and medical condition.
Fellowship-trained in joint replacement (often in the US, UK, or Germany).
Fluent in English with experience treating international patients.
Experts in both anterior and posterior approaches.
Associated with JCI or NABH accredited hospitals with low infection rates.

Personalized Matching: We don't send you to a random hospital. We study your X-rays and match you with the surgeon best equipped for your specific case.
End-to-End Logistics: Visa letters, airport pickup, currency exchange, local SIM cards—we handle it all.
Post-Op Support: We ensure you have physiotherapy and stay connected with your surgeon via video follow-ups after you return home.
You should plan for a total stay of 2-3 weeks. This includes 1 day of pre-op tests, 4-5 days in the hospital, and 10-14 days of initial recovery and physiotherapy before you are cleared to fly.
For many patients, yes. The anterior approach is muscle-sparing, which typically results in less post-operative pain, a faster return to normal activities, and fewer restrictions (no need for those awkward "hip precautions"). However, not every patient is a candidate. Your surgeon will advise based on your anatomy.
Absolutely. All major global implant brands (Zimmer Biomet, Stryker, DePuy Synthes) are available in India. You can choose between metal-on-polyethylene, ceramic-on-polyethylene, or ceramic-on-ceramic bearings based on your surgeon's recommendation and budget.
Hip replacement is very safe, with a success rate above 95%. However, as with any major surgery, risks include infection, blood clots, dislocation, and implant wear over time. Our hospitals use advanced protocols (antibiotics before surgery, blood thinners) to minimize these risks.
It's simple:
Before finalizing your surgery, use this checklist:
How many hip replacements do you perform each year?
What percentage are anterior approach vs. posterior?
What type of implant (bearing surface) do you recommend for me?
What is your personal infection rate?
How long will I be in the hospital?
What precautions will I need to take after surgery?
When can I return to work/swimming/golf?
Don't let hip pain limit your life another day. World-class treatment is more accessible and affordable than you think.
