Many patients live with hip pain for years, assuming it is “age-related” or due to weakness. But when pain starts affecting daily life, it may be time to consider medical evaluation. At Garud Ortho Clinic, Khadakpada, Kalyan West, Dr. Amit Garud, Orthopedic, Arthroscopy & Joint Replacement Surgeon, helps patients understand when hip replacement becomes the right choice. Hip replacement is usually advised when: • Severe arthritis (osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, AVN) damages the joint • Persistent pain continues despite medicines, physiotherapy, or injections • Difficulty walking, climbing stairs, or standing for long periods • Stiffness limits daily activities like sitting cross‑legged or turning in bed • Sleep is disturbed due to constant hip pain • X‑rays show advanced joint damage For suitable patients, Dr. Amit Garud performs Direct Anterior Approach (DAA) Hip Replacement, a modern, muscle‑sparing technique. Since major muscles are not cut, patients often experience less pain, faster recovery, early walking, and more natural joint movement. If hip pain is affecting your routine or mobility, don’t wait. An early orthopedic consultation can help you regain comfort, confidence, and an active life.
