Best Hip Surgeon India

People of old age and athletes who play high-intensity sports like athletics, rugby, football, etc. can experience hip injuries such as,

• Bursitis: The inflammation of a fluid-filled sac called bursa on the outer hip is called bursitis.
• Fractures: When there is a break in the upper femur or thigh bone, it causes a hip fracture.
• Strains: When the muscle joining the hip joint is stretched beyond its limit to the point of a tear, it causes hip strains.
• Dislocations: When the femur head or ball is disconnected from the socket, it is called hip dislocation.

Hip injuries can also be caused by diseases like Osteoarthritis causing pain and restricted motion and Osteoporosis, which deteriorates the bone density causing them to break. Both these diseases are most common in the elderly.

Another injury is hip dysplasia which affects babies who either suffer from it since birth or develop it later.

For hip strains, the primary treatment advised by every hip doctor is home remedial therapy, called RICE (Rest Ice Compression Elevation)

• Rest: You should give strenuous activities such as exercise and intense sports, etc., a miss. These activities can put excess pressure on the hip joints.
• Ice: To alleviate the swelling, you should apply ice on the swollen part of the hip joint.
• Compression: Compress the hip with a soft bandage or compression band to ward off any additional swelling.
• Elevation: Elevate your hip using a pillow to alleviate the pain and swelling.

Arthritis, fractures and tendon, cartilage and ligament repair, can be treated by surgery. The femoral head can be screwed back into the socket to treat Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis or SCFE. Screwing the femoral head prevents it from slipping out again.

Medications can alleviate most afflictions like irritation, swelling and pain in the hips. The irritable hip syndrome and soft tissue can be relieved by taking certain specific pain relievers.

Hip replacement surgery is performed in the case of severe arthritis or Osteoarthritis. In severe hip injuries, surgery is performed to replace the defective parts (for example, femur head or pelvic socket) with prosthetics made of polyethene (or plastic) or ceramic material.

Physiotherapy is recommended as the initial treatment for most hip injuries and post-procedure treatment for surgeries such as hip replacement. To undergo surgery, you may look for the best hip surgeon in India or schedule an appointment with Dr Aditya Sai.

If you are looking for a surgery associated with a hip injury, you should take a few considerations before choosing the right surgeon, such as,

• Get Recommendations: It is good to consider a few recommendations from people you know, especially from your family physician. For suggestions, you can also visit various catalogues and archives online.
• Review the Credentials: A surgeon’s alma mater, internships and board certifications can also give you an idea of how competent the doctor is in conducting a hip surgery.
• Experience: For surgery or any other medical afflictions, the more experience the doctor has, the better. An experience of 100s of hours of practice teaches a doctor more than any credentials.
• Quality Health Centre: A surgeon can perform the procedure better with superior equipment and a hygienic work environment.
• Ask Questions: You should not shy away from asking questions about the injury and the following surgery. The doctor should answer every question and explain the surgery and post-procedures in great detail.
• Read The Patients’ Reviews: Patients’ reviews tell us more about a doctor and the hospital more than any guide or website can.
• Health Insurance: With the astronomical prices for surgeries and medical treatments, you should always have health insurance. Make sure that the surgeon and procedure you are going to have should be covered in your insurance.
