Dr Amit Garud, orthopedic surgeon in Khadakpada, Kalyan shares insights on Hip Replacement Surgery Hip pain can be debilitating, affecting mobility and quality of life. Dr. Amit Garud, orthopedic surgeon at Garud Ortho Clinic, Khadakpada, Kalyan, explains, 'Hip replacement is recommended when pain becomes persistent, limiting daily activities despite medication and therapy.'  Common reasons for hip replacement include severe arthritis, hip fractures, and conditions like osteonecrosis (bone tissue death due to poor blood supply). When conservative treatments fail, surgery becomes the best option for restoring movement and reducing pain.  Dr. Garud is among the very few orthopedic surgeons in Mumbai and the only one in Kalyan performing anterior hip replacement, a modern technique with significant benefits:  - Less muscle damage: The approach avoids cutting major muscles, leading to faster recovery.  - Reduced post-surgery pain: Patients typically need less pain medication.  - Quicker mobility: Walking aids are often discarded sooner than with traditional methods.  - Fewer movement restrictions: Patients regain mobility faster with fewer post-surgical precautions.  Hip replacement can be life-changing—choosing the right technique and surgeon makes all the difference!
