Why Choose Minimally Invasive Hip Surgery?
For complex joint issues like FAI or labral tears, Prof. Dr. Ganesh Rajeshwar utilizes hip arthroscopy—a highly technical procedure requiring specialized training. If you are seeking the best hip surgeon in Mumbai, this minimally invasive approach offers profound benefits over traditional open surgery:
Joint Preservation
Arthroscopy allows the surgeon to repair damage early, often delaying or entirely preventing the need for a total hip replacement later in life.
Less Muscle Damage
Specialized instruments navigate between muscle groups rather than cutting through them, preserving your core strength
Precise Reshaping
The micro-camera provides a high-definition view of the hip joint, allowing for exact removal of bone spurs that cause painful friction.
Quicker Mobility
Patients typically experience significantly less postoperative pain and can begin rehabilitative walking exercises almost immediately.

F.A.Qs
The location of the pain is a strong indicator. Hip joint issues, like osteoarthritis or labral tears, typically cause pain deep in the groin or the front of the thigh. Pain on the outside of the hip or upper buttock is more commonly related to soft tissue issues, such as bursitis or tendonitis. A clinical examination and MRI at our South Mumbai orthopedic center will confirm the exact diagnosis.
Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI) occurs when extra bone grows along the hip joint, causing the bones to rub together during movement. It does not always require surgery. Many patients manage FAI successfully with specialized physiotherapy to strengthen the core and alter movement patterns. However, if conservative orthopedic treatments fail and the friction is tearing the labrum, arthroscopic surgery is highly effective.
Total Hip Replacement is usually recommended when severe arthritis pain keeps you awake at night, restricts your ability to walk more than a few blocks, or makes daily tasks like putting on shoes difficult. If joint injections and physical therapy no longer provide relief, modern joint replacement surgery can dramatically restore your quality of life.
A snapping sensation is often called “Snapping Hip Syndrome.” It is usually caused by a muscle or tendon sliding over a bony protrusion in your hip. While often painless and harmless, if the snapping is accompanied by deep pain or a catching sensation in the groin, it could indicate a torn labrum or loose cartilage fragment that requires evaluation by an orthopedic hip specialist.
While recovery depends on the exact repairs made, most patients use crutches for 2 to 4 weeks to protect the joint. Gentle stationary cycling and physical therapy usually begin within a few days. You can generally expect to return to normal daily activities within 6 weeks, with a full return to competitive sports taking 4 to 6 months of guided rehabilitation.
