    Introduction

    Hip pain shouldn't stop you from walking, dancing, or playing golf. Total Hip Replacement (THR) is the second most successful surgery in medicine (after cataract).

    The key to longevity? The Implant. India gives you access to the world's best implants (Ceramic-on-Ceramic) that last 25-30 years, for a fraction of the cost.

    The Ceramic Advantage

    Older metal-on-plastic implants wear out. Modern Delta Ceramic options are:

    • Harder: Almost diamond-hard.
    • Smoother: Almost zero friction.
    • Biocompatible: No metal ion leakage.

    CountryAvg Cost
    USA$40,000+
    UK (Private)£12,000+
    India$5,500 - $7,500

    This price usually includes FDA-approved implants from Johnson & Johnson (DePuy) or Smith & Nephew.

    Recovery Timeline

    • Day 4-5: Discharge.
    • Day 14: Fly home.
