"Stage 4 AVN, femoral head collapse. Council said yes — and helped me find the right surgeon."
— Mohd. Asif, 71 · Old Delhi (Daryaganj)
Before Orthosist
"Mera right hip mein dard 2 saal se tha. Pehle ignore kiya — Daryaganj ke gali mein chalna mushkil hone laga, namaz ke liye baithna mushkil. Ek local doctor ne X-ray dekha, kuch bola, kuch nahi. Phir mere bhai ne kaha — Maulana Azad Hospital chalo."
"Maulana Azad mein MRI hua — femoral head AVN, stage 4. Surgeon ne kaha total hip replacement zaroori hai, ₹3.5 lakh. Mere bete ne Orthosist ke baare mein WhatsApp pe pad ke kahaa — 'free second opinion karwa lete hain'. Bhej diya."
The Orthosist Council Verdict
Diagnosis: AVN right femoral head, Ficat Stage IV — significant femoral head collapse confirmed. Joint preservation no longer feasible.
Surgery required? Yes — Total Hip Replacement is genuinely indicated.
Recommended next steps: 3 surgeon options with track record for 70+ patients. Pre-op cardiac clearance. Post-op rehab plan. Help navigating affordable, well-credentialled hospitals.
After surgery
"Surgery hui ek hospital mein jo Orthosist ne suggest kiya — wo apna hospital nahi tha, wo sirf naam diya. Cost waqai mein ₹3.2 lakh tha (less than original quote). 12 hafte ki post-op physio Orthosist team ne ghar pe karayi. Aaj 6 mahine baad, main bina kissi laathi ke chal raha hoon, namaz ke liye baith bhi paata hoon. Jo poori zindagi mein dard tha, wo nahi hai."
"Unhone mujhe sach bataya — surgery zaroori hai. Phir sahi surgeon dhoondhne mein madad ki. Yahi to imandari hai."
