Dr. Prithvi Mohandas
Joint Managing Director and Director of Hip Replacement - MIOT Hospitals |
The Department of Hip Replacement performs Replacement
and Revision surgery for the Hip. MIOT Hospitals is a
pioneer in hip surgery in India. Prof. Dr. P.V.A.
Mohandas, founder of MIOT, carried out the First
Total Hip Replacement in India, in the early 70’s. We
have the richest experience in Joint Arthroplasty, having
performed over 20,000 such operation in the last thirty
years. All our operations are performed using minimally
invasive techniques. This means that patients walk within
hours of their surgery and the recovery is faster.
|
 |
MIOT has a team of dedicated joint replacement
surgeons who perform not only straight forward
primary joint replacement surgery but also
|
 |
Complicated
Acetabular Reconstruction, |
|
|
Correction of
Congenital Deformities and |
|
|
Lengthening of
the Limb |
in a diseased hip. These surgeons have trained
in hospitals dedicated to joint arthroplasty in
USA, Germany, Switzerland, U.K., Italy and
Australia. They have performed joint
arthroplasty exclusively for the last five
years, making them masters of this art. |
Medical Milestones
|
|
67 year old
female from Kenya with long standing arthritis underwent
keyhole hip surgery and walked independently, 1.5 hours
after the surgery. |
|
|
54 year old
Fijian taxi driver was bedridden for 1.5years following a
road accident that left him with a completely smashed hip
socket and dislocated hip. Complete joint reconstruction
using autogenous (his own) bone graft got him back on his
feet and walking in 5 days |
|
|
55 year old
industrialist with polio, bed bound after a failed fracture
fixation – was fitted with an implant with a constrained
socket which prevents the hip from dislocating. |

 |
Joint for Life
|
 |
The key to a successful replacement surgery is
matching the perfect implant to replace the
patient’s joint. There are a wide range of
implants in the market in all shapes, sizes and
materials. But only one of them is perfect for
the patient. |
At MIOT we use our thirty five years’ of experience in
replacement surgery to evaluate the patient’s joint and find
that perfect match. Hence the Department follows the
philosophy of “Joint
for Life”. Through combining our expertise in the
scientific selection of implants and well honed surgery
techniques, we would like to promise our patients that the
joints we give them will last a lifetime
