‘Hip replacement can last 15 years’

Over 1,200 doctors have been trained in effectively performing hip replacement surgeries in the past 10 years through the socket science course hosted by MIOT Hospital in partnership with DePuy Synthes, which is part of Johnson and Johnson Medical Devices. Addressing a conference organised to mark the completion of 10 years of the course here on Wednesday, Prithvi Mohandas, managing director of the hospital, said the key objective was to ensure that the hip replacements were done in such a way that the future surgeries for the same patients were not complicated.
