Returning for the 2nd hip replacement after 1 month

Patient L.V.N. (45 years old) presented with bilateral avascular necrosis of the femoral head, which left him wheelchair-dependent for several years due to debilitating pain compounded by complex underlying medical conditions.

Following clinical examination, Dr. Tang Ha Nam Anh, MD, PhD – Senior Clinical Advisor of the Orthopedic Center, Sante Hospital, stated Patient N's clinical presentation was ideally suited for total hip arthroplasty utilizing the minimally invasive 24-Hour SuperPath technique.

Upon being advised that bilateral hip replacement was indicated, Mr. N and his family initially experienced substantial apprehension and hesitance. However, reassured by the dedicated clinical counsel and meticulous attention of our medical team, Mr. N regained his peace of mind and opted to proceed with the left hip arthroplasty first.

Postoperatively, the patient demonstrated excellent recovery, resolution of pain in the left hip joint, and regained mobility within just a few hours, reinforcing confidence and motivation for both the patient and their family regarding this surgical procedure.

One month later, Mr. N decided to return for a right hip replacement surgery, expressing complete trust and satisfaction with the services at Sante Hospital.
