Hip Arthroscopy
Hip arthroscopy is a minimally invasive technique whereby it is possible to look inside the hip joint with the aid of a fibre optic telescope and in many instances perform a variety of surgical procedures using that technique.

Hip dysplasia is a condition with the socket (acetabulum) of the hip joint being too shallow. There is a wide spectrum in this condition ranging from babies whose hips are dislocated at birth or who have unstable hip joints, to those in whom the hip does not quite develop normally.
read moreHip Impingement
This condition has been recognised and understood relatively recently. This has arisen from the observation that some patients, usually males, develop early arthritis in their hips because their hips have slight variation in the shape of their Hip Joint. People with these hips start to get symptoms at an early age. It is important to have early recognition of this condition & appropriate intervention can delay or prevent arthritis in the Hip Joint.

This information will help you understand the benefits and limitations of this surgery. You'll learn how a normal hip works, causes of hip pain, what to expect from hip replacement surgery and what exercises and activities will help restore your mobility and strength and help you to return to everyday activities.

Some surgical techniques allow earlier and rapid recovery from the hip replacement operation. One such technique is the Minimally Invasive or the smaller incision technique. This technique involves less cutting of the muscles and other tissues around the hip. It is performed through a small skin incision with much less pain & discomfort following surgery which helps faster recovery back to normal function.

Robotic hip replacement uses a surgeon-controlled robotic arm, guided by a pre-operative 3D CT scan, to precisely position your new Hip implants and remove damaged bone. This technology enhances precision by creating a virtual surgical plan and guide the surgeon with pinpoint accuracy, leading to more natural-feeling joints and potentially longer implant life.
read moreRevision Hip Replacement
When a previously performed hip replacement becomes loose it usually leads to pain. We are now aware that the main factor causing hip replacements to loosen is related to wear particles released from the moving articulation.
read moreFailed Hip Surgery
Failed Hip surgery refers to failure of previous surgery or fixation without bone healing. When initial fixation doesn't heal the break, it can lead to pain, instability, or implant failure (like screws cutting out), often requiring revision surgery such as a Hip replacement with or without further fixation, depending on the patient's age, bone quality, and fracture type.

Young adults with hip problems need special consideration. Their hip surgery may involve hip preservation (like Periacetabular Osteotomy (PAO) or arthroscopy) for underlying issues (dysplasia or impingement,) or Total Hip Replacement(THR) for severe damage, using specialized techniques (advanced bearing surfaces, Hip resurfacing, short stems etc.) This helps to preserve bone in young people, as thess patients may need multiple surgeries over their lifetime. The goal is to restore function, but decisions need to balance immediate relief with anticipated future issues, requiring detailed imaging and experienced surgeons.
