Author Dr. Kálmán Ferenc Egyed | 2023.12.06.
Mrs István Horváth was unable to rest at night due to hip pain, and her quality of life deteriorated significantly. She heard about BMM orthopaedic surgeon Dr. Kálmán Egyed from a friend.
Trust in a doctor often starts when we hear from a friend or family member about the “miracle doctor” who helped them get their painless movement. Mrs István Horváth was also To Dr. Kálmán Egyed, the BMM orthopaedic surgeon, having already reached a degree of hip pain he couldn't sleep. Her daily life was also affected by the complaints, so it was needed a solution.
My friend was in a very, very bad condition,” says Mrs István. “I thought that if the doctor could operate on her, I would have complete confidence in him. I can't do that, not even with my children...
The non-passing with hip complaints, Mrs István went to the In BMM Dr. Kálmán Egyed, about whom he had heard so many good things. During the orthopaedic examination. X-rays are taken, which allows the specialist to see what is causing the pain. For minor joint wear, there are still conservative -i.e. non-surgical- solutions, which can reduce the complaints. There are many such rheumatological solutions, or even hyaluronic acid injection treatment. However, the only permanent solution for advanced wear and tear is prosthesis surgery is an option.
Unfortunately, this was also the case with Mrs István.
The hip replacement surgery took place at St Magdalene's Private Hospital. The operation is preceded by a series of tests, known as geo-survey, which aims to minimise the risk of surgery. This is done by safer, faster rehabilitation, there is no need to fear complications.

How did the hip replacement surgery take place?
Dr. Kálmán Egyed called anterior exploration, using a muscle displacement technique performed hip replacement surgery, during which he actually no muscle layers are cut through.
This is the the latest, gentle technology. The hip joint is then replaced with an artificial hip joint, which causes no pain as the bone is no longer friction against the bone.
In the case of Mrs István, the bone stock was very good, so without cement received a prosthesis.
How does rehabilitation begin after hip replacement surgery?
Late in the afternoon the physiotherapists came and we had to take a few steps
- says Mrs István.
At first, you only need to get out of bed, but the day after the operation, you will already start to intensive rehabilitation, to make the patient as return home more independently. At first with a walking frame, later with an elbow crutch teach you about physiotherapists transport, stair climbing, prohibitive movements and rehabilitation movements.
I can do everything around me. I can feed myself, clean, cook, wash, do the dishes.
-says Mrs István.
There are simply no words to describe what a huge difference it makes to live without pain... Don't live with the pain, if there is a way, do the surgery.
