Maria Litzenberger Hip Resurfacing Story

BHR   Dr. Malhan September 2005

Dear Patricia Walter,

My name is Maria Litzenberger, I am German and am 64 years old. After suffering for 10 years of arthritis in my left hip (the last 2 years have been so bad that I hardly could sleep from pain and hardly could walk)

I made the decision to get an operation. The operation was done at Wockhardt Hospital in Mumbai, India. My surgeon was Dr. Malhan. What was so exceptional about my operation is that Dr. Malhan did not operate me the classical way, meaning a complete hip replacement but after checking the Xrays made the hip resurfacing method. I loved his way of thinking, which was: why damage a bone the structure of which is healthy if you can operate just the parts which are damaged.

In the hospital I started to walk already the third day after the operation without any help. I had three times a day physiotherapy by Dr. Ritu. That was the 6th of September 2005.

Today, not even 2 years after the operation I walk like a young woman again, and even better I will go for that famous walk : The Lykian Way, in Turkey. 507 km long. In order to do so, I condition my body since three months now, walking the mountains every day for 2.5 hours a day, walking 15 km.

I will have photographs taken of me while doing that walk which I will be happy to send to you. Could you please be so kind as to send me your address for sending them to you.

If you have any questions please ask best regards from a happy former patient

Maria Litzenberger
