Hip Replacement Surgeon in Ahmedabad
Hip replacement surgery may be recommended when severe osteoarthritis, Avascular Necrosis (AVN), or other hip joint conditions cause persistent pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility that no longer improve with medications, physiotherapy, injections, or other conservative treatments.
If hip pain begins to interfere with walking, climbing stairs, sitting comfortably, or other everyday activities, surgery may be the most effective treatment option.
Dr. Nisarg Shah carefully assesses each patient's condition before recommending hip replacement surgery. The goal is to relieve pain, restore hip function, improve mobility, and help patients return to a more active and comfortable lifestyle.
Key Indications for Evaluation
- Groin or lateral hip pain that radiates down the thigh and limits walking distance.
- Stiffness that makes putting on socks/shoes or sitting in low chairs difficult.
- Pain at rest or during the night that severely interferes with sleep.
- A noticeable limp or gait imbalance due to hip joint stiffness.
- X-rays or MRI showing joint space loss, bone collapse, or AVN damage.
What the Procedure Involves
During total hip replacement, the damaged femoral head and pelvic socket are replaced with durable, biocompatible implants. Dr Nisarg Shah focuses on meticulous preoperative digital template planning to preserve leg-length balance, muscle tension, and joint stability.
Hip Recovery Timeline
Early Mobilization
Standing and assisted walking with a walker under physical therapy guidance.
Unassisted Walking
Gradual transition from walker to stick, improving hip flexibility and strength.
Pain-Free Routine
Return to driving, stair climbing, and comfortable daily activities.
Durable Hip Stability
Modern ceramic and polyethylene hip implants offer exceptional long-term wear resistance.
Start Your Journey Towards Pain-Free Movement
Sometimes conservative treatment stops working. When hip pain starts affecting your day, and medication, physiotherapy, and injections no longer help, replacement surgery becomes the realistic next step.
Dr. Nisarg Shah examines each case individually, and recovery is built around one goal: getting you back to walking, driving, and sitting comfortably without your hip ruining the day.
