OBC-ORT · Orthopedics & spine
The implant will be named. The wait will not be the reason you say yes.
Most of our orthopedic files are people who can no longer walk the dog, sitting on an NHS list measured in seasons. India is a way to have the operation this year, in a unit that will tell you which cup and stem it intends to use.
Conditions we coordinate
- Primary hip and knee osteoarthritis
- Selected revision arthroplasty
- Degenerative spine, where surgery is already indicated
- Sports ligament reconstruction
Typical package inclusions
Named implant (Zimmer, Stryker, DePuy or equivalent stated brand — not “or similar”), surgeon, anaesthesia, 3–5 ward nights, inpatient physio, DVT prophylaxis, companion stay, transfers, implant stickers in the records pack.
Recovery, in outline
Primary joint: 10–14 days in India is the window we plan, including time to be fit for a long-haul cabin. You will not be fully recovered. You will be recovered enough to fly, if the surgeon agrees.
