Groin Pain, Stiffness putting on socks, a limp that won’t go away: a worn or damaged Hip can often be replaced reliably when simpler treatment stops working.
Common reasons for a Hip Replacement
- Osteoarthritis of the Hip
- Avascular Necrosis (AVN), where the ball of the Hip loses its blood supply
- Arthritis after an old Fracture or a childhood Hip problem
- Some Hip Fractures in older adults
How I approach it
We start with a careful Examination and Imaging to confirm the Hip is the source of the Pain. Back and Knee problems can feel similar. If a replacement is the right step, I’ll explain the Implant choice, including Ceramic options, the risks and the Recovery plan. Surgery is done at AIG Hospitals, Banjara Hills, and most patients stay about 3 days.
