Hip injuries arise due to overuse of the hips by playing sports or running, or overdoing physical activities. Falling, bursitis, dislocations, fractures, and strains are the major reasons behind hip concerns.

Diseases like osteoarthritis and osteoporosis in old people make the bones brittle and weak and contribute to hip injuries. Also, in the hip socket, when the ball at the end of the femur gets loose, hip dysplasia occurs. Babies are sometimes born with it, while some develop it later in life. Irrespective of when hip injury affects your life, you may consult with Dr Aditya.

The treatment for hip injury involves

• Arthritis that causes inflammation is treatable by medication, and these also relieve pain associated with hip disorders. Pain relievers also address soft tissue pain and irritable hip syndrome pain.
• Surgery is done to correct arthritis and fractures. For example, to treat slipped capital femoral, a screw is used to fix the femoral head back in place, thus preventing them from slipping. At times, surgery can also repair ligaments, cartilage or tendons.
• Hip arthroplasty, commonly known as hip replacement surgery, is done in extreme cases of injury or arthritis.
• The hip prosthetics are made of ceramic or polyethene, or even metal and consist of several components like the socket and ball. Due to the medical grading, the prosthetics are resistant to frictional wear and tear. Although hip replacement is a major surgical procedure, the patient can resume mobility within eight weeks.

Hip surgery is a big deal; hence it must be done right. Choose the best hip surgeon by using the tips shared below:

Seek recommendations
Ask around in your family and friend circle about a hip surgeon. It is always good to get an orthopaedic surgeon who comes highly recommended as you get a detailed review of their ethics and practises. These days many medical directories give you honest reviews about hospitals and doctors.

Review the credentials
Board certifications are an essential factor to consider when selecting a surgeon. The certifications ensure the legibility, specialization and expertise of the surgeon. These certifications are also soundproof of their ethical practises. Make sure to check for any legal implications against the doctor.

Numbers of years into practice matter
The more, the better when it comes to counting the number of years of surgical experience. At times the hours put into surgery also matter because these ensure that small technicalities aren't missed due to the years of experience. Ask about the number of years the physician has been active as a surgeon.

Gender does matter
If you are comfortable with a female doctor, just go ahead and ask for one at the hospital of your choice. In treatments, comforts matter a lot.

Hospital
Find a hospital that is well equipped with staff, facilities and has the latest infrastructure. The quality of the hospital matters in terms of quick recovery and safe treatments. Many online web portals give reviews and details about hospitals and their staff.

Ask questions
The more you ask, the more knowledge you get. You can ask questions regarding the procedure, medications and recovery time. These questions will show you how patient the doctors and the staff are when answering them.

Patient reviews
Since you will be asking for recommendations, ask for their reviews and how the doctor's temperament was the entire time. These reviews will help you evaluate the ethics of the surgeons.

Insurance
Hip surgery is an expensive affair; hence insurance comes in handy during these times. Get in touch with your insurance provider and ask questions regarding the eligibility of hip surgery and aftercare rehabilitation. Home care is also an essential part of recovery and will need assisted services. Also, check with the hospital if they accept the insurance you have because the hospitals have their separate list of insurance dos and don'ts.
