hello guys, my father is a lower right leg amputee and he had his amputation done in late 2013 at the national orthopaedic hospital. he has been using a prosthetic leg but in late 2015 he had a terrible fall and had severe pains in his hip, on that right leg which he uses the prosthesis on, immobilizing him and when we went back to the hospital we were told he had a fracture in his hip and it would require a partial hip replacement surgery. sadly, the doctor wasnt feeling chatty and did not tell us much about this hip replacement surgery just the cost(about 200k) and managed to tell us, when he saw my dad wasnt pleased with this option, that there was a total hip replacement option available if we had enough money for it(over a million). although the doctor suggested that he would be able to still make use of the prosthesis after the surgery, my dad has been very skeptical about the whole thing, which led me to talk to him about considering going to india for the procedure. before going to google hospitals in india and all that i decided to ask you guys some questions first if anyone knows how successful the operation procedure is here in nigeria and if there is really any need to consider going to india for it, as it would be the first time he is going there. also i reckon the hip replacement surgery is quite common but if anyone knows of any amputees that have had it done and still uses their prosthesis as i imagine it might not be uncommon for amputees to have this procedure done. thank you very much for your help guys.
