Comprehensive Hip Surgery
Total Hip Replacement, Resurfacing, Revision & More — Expert Care in Surat
Our hip surgery programme covers primary replacement, complex revisions and joint-preserving procedures supported by specialist physiotherapy and personalised pathways for recovery.
Hip Surgery Overview
Shivaan Hospital provides comprehensive hip surgery in Surat — from elective total hip replacement to advanced arthroscopic procedures and fracture management. Our multidisciplinary team emphasizes precise surgical planning and modern implant selection to restore mobility and reduce pain.
We treat hip osteoarthritis, inflammatory arthritis, post-traumatic conditions, and complex fractures with individualized treatment plans based on patient age, activity level, and personal goals.
Total Hip Replacement (THR)
Total Hip Replacement surgery is one of the most successful orthopedic procedures in Surat, providing excellent pain relief for patients with advanced hip arthritis. The surgery replaces worn joint surfaces with prosthetic components — a metal or ceramic ball and socket (acetabular cup).
We offer modern bearing options including ceramic-on-ceramic hip implants and metal-on-polyethylene combinations. Our surgical approach uses computer-assisted hip replacement planning to optimize leg length equality and joint stability, minimizing soft tissue disruption for faster recovery.
The patient pathway includes pre-operative optimization, surgery with multimodal analgesia, early mobilization with physiotherapy, and structured outpatient rehabilitation tailored to individual needs.

Hip Resurfacing
Hip resurfacing surgery is a bone-conserving alternative to total hip replacement that preserves significantly more natural femoral bone. The surgeon resurfaces the femoral head with a metal cap while replacing the hip socket, particularly suitable for younger, active patients.
Ideal candidates are typically younger than 60, physically active, with good bone quality. We conduct thorough pre-operative assessment including detailed imaging and bone quality evaluation to determine suitability for this joint preservation procedure.
During consultation, we discuss risks associated with metal-on-metal bearings, benefits including improved range of motion and bone preservation for future revision, implant longevity, and post-surgery activity recommendations.

Revision hip replacement surgery addresses complications from previous hip replacements including implant loosening, wear, infection, instability, or periprosthetic fractures. These procedures require specialized expertise and often custom implant solutions.
Our comprehensive revision hip surgery program includes thorough pre-operative assessment with advanced imaging (CT, MRI), infection screening, and detailed surgical planning. We manage significant bone loss using structural allografts, trabecular metal augments, and custom implant systems.
For infected hip replacement revisions, our multidisciplinary infection team offers single-stage and two-stage revision protocols depending on infection severity and patient factors, ensuring optimal infection eradication while preserving function.

Minimally Invasive & Muscle-Sparing Approaches
We utilize minimally invasive hip replacement techniques that work between muscles rather than cutting through them. These approaches use smaller incisions (8-12 cm) and preserve soft tissue integrity, reducing post-operative pain and accelerating rehabilitation.
The anterior approach hip replacement utilizes a natural interval between muscles, avoiding cutting major muscle groups. This can result in reduced pain, faster recovery, and potentially lower dislocation risk, though it requires specific surgical expertise.
Not every patient is a candidate for muscle-sparing hip surgery. Suitability depends on patient anatomy, body habitus, bone quality, and procedure complexity. We assess candidacy during consultation and discuss which surgical approach provides the best outcome.

Hip arthroscopy in Surat is a minimally invasive procedure using small incisions and camera systems to diagnose and treat various hip conditions. This joint-preserving technique addresses early-stage hip disease, often delaying or preventing joint replacement.
Common conditions treated include labral tears, femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), synovitis, loose bodies, and certain hip instability types. The procedure uses 2-3 small portals under general anesthesia, typically lasting 1-2 hours.
Recovery involves protected weight-bearing followed by structured physiotherapy. Most patients return to desk work within 2-3 weeks and sporting activities within 4-6 months, depending on the procedure performed and individual healing.

Hip Fracture Fixation
Hip fractures require urgent orthopedic care, particularly in elderly patients where delayed treatment leads to complications. We provide comprehensive acute hip fracture management with rapid assessment, medical optimization, and timely surgical intervention.
Treatment options depend on fracture location, pattern, and patient factors. Femoral neck fractures may be treated with internal fixation or hemiarthroplasty. Intertrochanteric fractures typically receive internal fixation using sliding hip screws or intramedullary nails.
Our multidisciplinary approach includes collaboration with geriatricians and physiotherapists for medical optimization and early mobilization. Getting patients weight-bearing quickly significantly improves outcomes and reduces hospital stay, with our dedicated team working to restore pre-injury functional levels.

How long before I can walk after hip replacement?
Most patients begin protected weight-bearing the same day or the day after surgery with physiotherapy support. Many walk independently with aids within 1–2 weeks; recovery timeline varies by procedure and patient factors.
What is the difference between resurfacing and THR?
Resurfacing preserves more femoral bone and may suit younger patients, while THR replaces both sides of the joint. Each has specific risks and benefits; we discuss these at consultation.
Do you perform revisions for infected hips?
Yes — we have a multidisciplinary septic service offering staged debridement & exchange where needed, with close coordination between orthopaedics, infectious disease and rehabilitation teams.
