We have known that “hip fracture” is a general problem in elderly, according to their ages and muscle strengths which make them easy to fall and cause them a hip fracture. Besides, having a high blood pressure, visual impairment, medical side effects can be a reason why elderly stumble on something easily.
Professor Dr. Thanainit Chotanaphuti, a surgeon of Orthopdic Institute Phyathai 2 Hospital claimed majority of thais, choose to buy their own medicines instead of seeing a doctor, which is faster and cheaper or some have a nosocomephobia, the extreme fear of hospitals. While the best way when you are sick is meeting doctor and getting a proper treatment.
Most of patients worry about doing a hip arthroplasty surgery because of the pain, complex method, some might question that how long for a treatment or when they will be able to walk again. Accordingly, only a few people that actually know a hip arthroplasty surgery, the majority know from family members or friends which may give them an inccorect information. Today we have an innovation that provide patients a perfect way of treatment, including more hightly inteligent surgeons.
The surgery has been developed as Bikini Line, which cuts some layers from the anterior part of hips, and people barely feel a pain, in addition it gives them a fast recovery, only 2-3 days staying in hospital, Dr. Thanainit said
However, Professor Dr. Thanainit added that key factors for good quality of surgery and long lasting results are based on surgical experts, select a surgeon who fulls of experiences. Accordingly, this concerns to your operation and long term results. Ensure that a hospital where you would like go has a high quality of service systems, procedures and team supports.
