Dr. Vijay C Bose – Joint Director & Senior Consultant Orthopaedic Surgery said, “Michael Mckenna aged 62 from the UK opted to go for High Performance Hip Replacement surgery based on his diagnosis, and also other conditions such as his age, and lifestyle. This process of high performance surgery using technology helped us achieve procedural navigation and better outcomes among the patients. Based on suggestions from our Orthopaedic team at SIMS, we developed our own software named DiCAST (Digital inclinometer-Co Axial Stitch Technique) and customized it as per our needs. Using smart-phone aided navigation technology we improved the accuracy in achieving the target angles and improved patient outcomes. The patient had to come all the way from the UK owing to the discomfort caused by osteoarthritis. Using this technique we performed this surgery safely and ensured accurate implant position. This procedure is advanced when compared to that of a conventional hip replacement surgery yet incredibly effective that is aided by technology and precision-made software”.
“I am glad to have approached SIMS Hospital in Chennai for my Hip Replacement procedure. After suffering from osteoarthritis, I was advised by Dr. Vijay C Bose to opt for the high performance hip replacement procedure. India being one of the top medical destinations, and being comparatively more affordable to get the procedure done here, we had no second thoughts before going ahead with it. The well-qualified Doctors and Staff here were really helpful, and made the process really seamless and without complications. I would like to thank Dr. Vijay C Bose and the team of expert doctors at SIMS Hospital for their support” said Michael Mckenna
