As a former Swedish National Soccer player as well as a Soccer Coach, when Benny Axelsson started experiencing pain in his Hip region, it became extremely challenging for him. He tried getting medication but there was not much improvement. For any sportsperson, the importance is always very high and thus, for Benny too, it was very important that he got treatment at the earliest. The pain was getting worse and so he visited a hospital in Sweden. There, the tests and scans showed that his Hip region was not in a good condition.

He researched and came to know that there are surgical procedures for such Hip problems. But he was told that he was not really an ideal candidate for a Hip Resurfacing Surgery. Benny didn’t give up and on researching further, he found out about Dr. Vijay Bose in India. He is a pioneer when it comes to Hip Resurfacing procedures and had handled thousands of complicated surgeries. Without any delay, Benny emailed Dr. Bose and to his amazement, in 25 hours he got a reply in which Dr. Bose had mentioned that there was 60 percent chance of Benny having a successful Hip Resurfacing surgery. In the next email, Benny shared an X-ray and Dr. Bose’s reply was very quick and positive.

Soon, Benny was in Apollo Hospital in Chennai, India, where he met Dr. Vijay Bose. Although, he found that Benny’s Hip was badly damaged, but he suggested that a Birmingham Hip Resurfacing procedure would be the best solution for Benny. It is one of the most advanced Hip surgeries and helps in bone conservation in a much better way. The staff members helped Benny with all the necessary process before the surgery. Dr. Bose and his team performed the surgery successfully with the help of extremely advanced tools and technology.

As per Benny, he found the infrastructure at Apollo very impressive. Not just the surgeons are proficient, but also the nursing staff are so fluent in how they attend to the patients. His wife, who is a nurse in Sweden, also found the services very up-to-date in Apollo. The recovery phase for Benny was very smooth and in a span of seven days, he was free from the severe pain. He was able to sit and stand very comfortably and could walk around. In fact, he even went for a walk to the nearest beach. He cannot thank Dr. Vijay Bose enough for relieving him from the terrible pain and is looking forward to getting back to playing Soccer again.
