17 Years After Bilateral Hip Replacement, Patient’s Reconstructed Hips Still Functioning Well

Dr. K J Reddy, a Senior Orthopaedic Surgeon at Apollo Hospitals, Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, introduces Mrs. Mastari Begam, who underwent bilateral hip replacement 17 years ago in 2007 in Khanapur. She initially came to Dr. Reddy with severe pain in both hips, unable to walk or sit, leading him to decide on total hip replacement surgery. At that time, metal-on-metal hip replacements were common. For Mrs. Begam, a metal-on-metal replacement was performed on one hip, while a ceramic-on-ceramic replacement was done on the other.

Dr. Reddy highlights Mrs. Begam as a living example of successful hip replacements, whether metal-on-metal or ceramic-on-ceramic. Mrs. Begum’s son, Mr. Zameeruddin, shares that they had regular check-ups with Dr. Reddy from 2007 to 2014, and she has been pain-free ever since. They are deeply grateful to Dr. Reddy for his exceptional care and highly recommend him to anyone with hip problems.
