This mighty muscle has a profound influence upon our well-being

At the very core of your physical body lies a muscle that influences every aspect of well-being. The psoas muscle, critical for balance, alignment, joint rotation and range of motion, also influences the circulatory system, the functioning of organs and diaphragmatic breathing. The only muscle to link the lumbar spine to the legs, it is a dynamic psoas that massages your vertebrae, viscera and organs with every walking step.

Birmingham Hip Resurfacing (India) — A guide to patients

The anesthetist will be seeing you the day prior to the surgery, or earlier if required. Usually a general anesthetic is preferred for BHR due a variety of technical reasons. After the surgery, the patient will be in the recovery room for about 3 hours after which he will be shifted to the wards.

Strict adherence of instructions regarding visitors is mandatory. Only one person who will be known as the primary attendant is allowed inside the patient’s room. Should the patient have any other visitor, the primary attendant will come outside the room to speak to them. The patient’s family must actively discourage visitors for the first 3 post –op days. Only the patient is permitted to eat inside the room.
