Accesses the hip from the front, avoiding major muscle cuts — may support a faster initial recovery for suitable candidates.
The more widely used, well-established technique, equally effective with a slightly different recovery protocol.
Ceramic, metal and polyethylene bearing surfaces each have different durability profiles — confirmed based on your age and activity level.
Your imaging is reviewed to confirm replacement is needed and which surgical approach fits your anatomy.
Bloodwork and anaesthesia clearance completed shortly after arrival in India.
Typically 1–2 hours, under spinal or general anaesthesia depending on your case.
Guided walking with support typically starts within 24 hours of surgery.
A structured home exercise plan is shared before you fly, with tele-consultation follow-up.
Figures below are indicative ranges reported across accredited Indian hospitals, for planning purposes only — not a marketed or final price.
| Procedure | Indicative cost (USD) | Typical hospital stay |
|---|---|---|
| Unilateral total hip replacement | $5,500 – $7,500 | 4–5 days |
| Bilateral total hip replacement | $9,500 – $13,000 | 5–6 days |
| Hip resurfacing (eligible cases) | $6,000 – $8,500 | 4–5 days |
| Revision hip replacement | $8,500 – $13,000 | 6–8 days |
What this actually covers, and what it doesn't: Implant material and whether it's a first-time or revision surgery are the biggest cost drivers — MedTrav's estimate confirms exactly which implant is included before you travel.

Both approaches are available across partner hospitals — the anterior approach avoids cutting major muscles and may mean a faster initial recovery, while the posterior approach is more widely used and equally well-proven. Your surgeon recommends based on your anatomy and their expertise.
Most patients stand and take their first steps with support within 24 hours of surgery, progressing to a cane by 2–3 weeks and most normal activity by 6–12 weeks.
Yes, for eligible younger, active patients with good bone quality — resurfacing preserves more of the natural femur bone, though full replacement remains the more common and versatile option for most patients.
These refer to the bearing surface materials — ceramic-on-ceramic and ceramic-on-polyethylene are common modern choices known for durability, while your surgeon's recommendation depends on your age, activity level and bone quality.
Yes — most patients are cleared to fly around 10–14 days after surgery, once wound healing and mobility are confirmed, with blood-clot-prevention precautions discussed for the flight itself.
