10 Year Update Istt’s Hip Resurfacing with Dr. Bose2007

August 30, 2017

Had my hip resurfacing done by Vijay Bose in Chennai, India in March of 2007. No problems 10 years later. If your bone density is good having a hip replacement is a no-brainer. You would be a fool to get a total hip replacement. Dr. Gross, from what I understand, is one of the best in the US. In 2007, very few doctors were doing THR’s and McMinn told me Bose was … Read the rest

This is my first post and I am scheduled for bilateral hip resurfacing by Dr. Bose in July this year.

I am nervous as hell as I have never spent time in hospital let alone an operation of such calibre. I am scared of the general anaesthetic the most and how I will feel when (if) I wake up.

My background is that I am a 44 year old male that has … Read the rest

IN PRAISE OF DR. BALASUBRAMANIAN (COIMBATORE, INDIA)

In January, I had my left hip resurfaced by Dr. Bose in
Chennai. Although
both hips were almost equally bad (bone on bone), Dr. Bose
was very
reluctant to operate on both, so I had the left hip operated
on, returned
home to Chicago and hoped for the best.

Unfortunately, my
right hip began
getting worse, and after about 5 weeks, it became apparent
that I’d have to… Read the rest

I returned from having my hip resurfaced by Dr. Bose in Chennai on April 18, 2008.

For years I was told by my local orthopeds that I had a compressed disc leading to nerve impingement which was causing severe sciatica. They sent me to a neurosurgeon who recomended, yup you guessed it, surgery – that would be neurosurgery. Being a yoga teacher, I was skeptical, did my … Read the rest
