Press Release Body = When Knee osteoarthritis struck him hard and cramped his zeal for outdoor activities, Paul, a 64-year-old English patient settled in Stanford chose India for his double Knee replacements. Good weather, costs and love of Indian food were the deciding factors for him. High quality and affordable double knee replacements were his priority and these were provided to his complete satisfaction by Fly2india4health Consultants in India.
In a ever growing trend, many senior UK citizens have relocated outside England look out side their settled location for medical treatment abroad. Orthopedic surgery like Knee replacement surgery, full knee replacements, partial replacement, Hi flex knee replacement, Hip resurfacing, Proxima hip replacements are the common procedures sought after. Surgery in the NHS doesn't enamor them and they find the cost of private surgery in the UK unaffordable. Private surgery in other countries is not attractive either and they rather choose to come to India for treatment.
Indian Doctors, which are associated with Fly2india4health Consultants, have successfully treated many Canadian, American and English patients. Margaret, a bank employee from UK checked out of a County hospital at the last minute and flew to India for her Knee replacement. Three months after her surgery in India, her pain is considerably reduced. She underwent a medical examination by her UK orthopedic surgeon and later remarked- \"Today I was seen by the hospital orthopedic specialist to assess my medication for the arthritis. He is more than happy with the mobility of the knee being more than 90-degree movement. My GP is very pleased with the operation. He says he does not believe I could have had anything better in the UK and most certainly the risk of infection is so much greater here: many patients are returning to hospital and having the knee opened up again because infection had set in. He says the scar has healed very well."
Vouches another patient Ian from Nottingham, after her six monthly review in UK-"A week ago I saw the orthopedic surgeon who would have done the operation here. His x-ray showed the new knee was fine!!! The bend on my knee today was 130 no worries there!!
Hi flex knees or knees that provide deep knee bending, or the \"Prayer knee\" as it popularly known in Islamic countries like Pakistan and the middle east are preferred by patients as they offer more functional abilities than standard knee replacements. Hindu and Muslim customs of kneeling for Namaz or prayer are impossible to attain with standard knee surgery.
Costs of knee surgery in India are extremely affordable about 3500 pounds only vs. 9000 pounds in the UK. Modern Indian hospitals like the associated with Fly2india4health Consultants provide top class facilities like Operating rooms with Laminar airflow, spacious rooms and tender Nursing care.
