Your Hip Specialist in Jaipur — Individual Care for Hip Pain
Hip pain is one of the most common orthopaedic complaints. Often the cause is a progressive wear and tear of the articular cartilage in the hip joint — known as hip joint arthrosis or coxarthrosis. This form of arthrosis usually develops over years.
In the initial stages, hip joint arthrosis often causes no or only minimal discomfort. However, as the degeneration of the joint progresses, the pain and movement restrictions increase, which can lead to a significant loss of quality of life.
Typical first signs are pain in the groin when walking or running, which can also radiate into the back or the thigh down to the knee. In further stages, start-up pain occurs in the morning and there is often increasing stiffness and a limping gait.
Diagnosis and Treatment of Hip Pain
As your hip specialist at Bombay Hospital, Sitapura, Jaipur, Dr. Hargovind Singh conducts a comprehensive clinical examination of the hip and adjacent joints. An X-ray examination is performed to determine the exact causes of your symptoms.
In the early stages of hip osteoarthritis, when the hip cartilage is not yet severely worn, various conservative, non-surgical therapy options are available. These conservative treatments include:
- Physiotherapy
- Oral Medication Therapies
- Injections (Corticosteroids)
- Hyaluronic Acid Therapy
- Surgical Consultation
Surgical Solutions for Advanced Hip Osteoarthritis
If conservative methods are not sufficient and hip osteoarthritis is far advanced, surgical treatment may be necessary to provide improved joint function and quality of life. The implantation of an artificial hip (endoprosthesis) — including minimally invasive hip replacement using the AMIS technique — could then enable you to live a pain-free life.
Dr. Singh offers the highest surgical quality with modern, muscle-sparing techniques. This approach allows patients to begin rehabilitation soon after the operation, enabling return to daily activities and even sports without discomfort. In cases of severe hip osteoarthritis or previous operations, alternative muscle-sparing approaches can be chosen for the best possible functional result.
