Total hip replacement in a young woman at Turan & Turan Health Group in Turkey

Treatment: Hip replacement (Total)
Provider: Turan & Turan Health Group
Date: Feb 2023

Olivia, a 28-year-old from Nigeria with a history of hip problems since childhood, is now pain-free following total hip replacement surgery at Turan & Turan Health Group in Busa, Turkey.

"I am one of many who suffered from hip problems as a child. I had previously gone through two operations! In the US, the first was for traction, while in Nigeria, the second was for a full hip replacement.

I undertook more than a year of post-replacement surgery rehabilitation in Nigeria, but I was still in immense pain that interfered with my day-to-day activities and job!

Total hip replacements are not necessarily restricted by age or weight.

Surgery recommendations are based on a patient's pain level and level of impairment, not on their age. The majority of total hip replacement patients are between the ages of 50 and 80, however orthopedic surgeons consider each patient differently. From the young adolescent with juvenile arthritis to the elderly patient with degenerative arthritis, total hip replacements have been successfully performed at all ages. To obtain a second assessment and advice from the joint replacement experts, I called Turan & Turan Health Group. My second hip replacement operation was advised after a review of my medical records.

I returned from Turkey delighted and pain-free to arrange my wedding celebration with my beloved fiancé."
