A British gentleman underwent a hip resurfacing with Dr.A.K.Venkatachalam. He chose this surgeon for his expertise and affordability.

A 56 year old British gentleman Mr.Chris Browne, settled in Greece underwent a hip resurfacing in a Chennai private hospital. The operation was performed by Orthopaedic surgeon Dr.A.K.Venkatachalam. Mr.Browne learnt about Dr.Venkatachalam after his name was recommended by former patients in England and Greece. He chose India for his surgery rather than Britain for the reasons of high quality service and competitive cost. The surgery was performed in a state of the art operation theatre in a private hospital. Two days later the patient is thrilled by the surgery is totally pain free and has already started walking.

Mr. Browne reckons that he wore out his hip through sports. Chris is an avid trekker and is eager to return to trekking, walking, jogging,Yoga and Bungie jumping.
