Admitted to the hospital with a closed fracture of the left femoral neck and severe hip pain, Mr. N.V.T. (born in 1941) decided to undergo a left total hip replacement at SAIGON-ITO Hospital System (Saigon International Orthopedic and Trauma Hospital).
The patient was admitted with multiple underlying medical conditions, including ischemic heart disease, hypertension, and lipid metabolism disorder. He also had a history of stroke and previous prostate cancer surgery.
According to Dr. Bui Duc Luong, Deputy Head of the Outpatient Department at Saigon International Orthopedics and Trauma Hospital, this was an especially complex case due to the patient’s advanced age and multiple comorbidities.
Faced with this challenging situation, the medical team carefully considered the patient’s wish to regain mobility and return to daily activities. A multidisciplinary consultation was conducted with close coordination among the Cardiology, Anesthesiology & Resuscitation, and Orthopaedics departments. The patient’s health indicators were closely monitored and well controlled before, during, and after surgery. The left total hip replacement procedure was successfully performed, ensuring maximum safety for the patient.
Following surgery, the patient remained alert, experienced significant pain relief, and began early rehabilitation exercises under the guidance of the rehabilitation team. After a short recovery period, he was able to sit up and practice walking with assistance, gradually regaining independence in daily activities.
Mr. N.V.T.’s case demonstrates that even elderly patients with multiple complex underlying conditions can still achieve effective treatment outcomes when they receive comprehensive evaluation and appropriate care.
👉 Total hip replacement not only helps relieve pain but also restores mobility and improves quality of life for elderly patients. However, early examination and timely treatment play an extremely important role, especially for patients with accompanying underlying diseases.
💙 SAIGON-ITO Hospital System is always ready to accompany patients on their journey to regain mobility and enjoy a fuller, more active life.
