Comprehensive Hip Treatments by Dr. Darshan Shah
At Phoenix Orthopaedic Centre, we specialize in advanced, minimally invasive hip surgeries that focus on preserving your natural joint and restoring function. While total hip replacement is one of our core specialties, we also offer a full spectrum of non-replacement hip procedures for patients with hip pain, sports injuries, impingement syndromes, and trauma.
Led by Dr. Darshan Shah, a fellowship-trained hip specialist and a pioneer in 3D Robotics & Minimally Invasive Hip Surgery, we ensure precision-driven care for patients of all ages.
Hip Arthroscopy
Hip arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat various hip joint problems through small incisions.
Commonly treated conditions include:
Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI)- Labral Tears
- Loose Bodies
- Synovitis
Benefits:
- Small incisions
- Early recovery
- Preserves native joint

Labral Repair & Reconstruction
The labrum is a cartilage ring around the hip socket that can tear due to trauma, impingement, or repetitive motion. Dr. Shah performs:
- Labral Repair for restoring the native labrum
- Labral Reconstruction using grafts for irreparable damage
These procedures help in pain relief, improved range of motion, and joint preservation.
Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI) Correction
FAI occurs when abnormal bone shapes in the hip joint cause friction during movement, leading to damage.
Dr. Shah offers:
- Cam and Pincer Lesion Correction
- Arthroscopic Bone Contouring
- Labral Preservation Techniques
Goal: Prevent arthritis and improve hip function in younger patients.
Trochanteric Bursitis Treatment
Pain on the outer side of the hip is often due to inflammation of the bursa over the greater trochanter.
We offer:
- Ultrasound-guided injections
- Endoscopic bursectomy
- IT band release, if necessary
Sports-Related Hip Injuries
Athletes often suffer from:
- Hip flexor strains
- Labral tears
- Snapping hip syndrome
- Stress fractures
Our sports injury protocols combine accurate diagnosis, minimally invasive treatment, and a fast-track rehab plan.
Hip Trauma & Fracture Fixation
Dr. Shah is experienced in the surgical management of:
- Neck of femur fractures
- Intertrochanteric fractures
- Pelvic acetabular injuries
Using locking plates, intramedullary nails, and minimally invasive techniques, he ensures fast recovery and mobilization.
Core Muscle & Groin Pain Syndromes
We treat:
- Athletic pubalgia
- Hip adductor strains
- Iliopsoas tendinitis
These are managed with a combination of conservative treatment and endoscopic surgery if required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Hip arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat various intra-articular hip conditions like labral tears, femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), and loose bodies. It’s commonly recommended for younger patients with persistent hip pain who want to avoid or delay hip replacement.
Common symptoms include deep groin pain, clicking or locking sensations, stiffness, and pain during sports or prolonged sitting. If left untreated, labral tears can lead to early arthritis.
FAI is treated with arthroscopic bone reshaping to correct cam or pincer deformities, along with labral repair or debridement. These procedures relieve pain and improve joint mobility while preventing further damage.
Small or stable labral tears may improve with rest, physiotherapy, and anti-inflammatory medication. However, active individuals or athletes with persistent pain often require arthroscopic repair or reconstruction for long-term relief.
Hip arthroscopy is less painful than open surgery. Most patients are discharged within 24 hours and begin walking within a few days. Full recovery usually takes 6 to 12 weeks, depending on the procedure and physiotherapy adherence.
Trochanteric bursitis is caused by overuse, muscle tightness, or injury. Treatments include physiotherapy, activity modification, anti-inflammatory medication, ultrasound-guided injections, and in some cases, endoscopic bursectomy.
Athletes may experience:
- Labral tears
- FAI
- Hip flexor or adductor strains
- Stress fractures
- Snapping hip syndrome
Early diagnosis and minimally invasive interventions help avoid chronic disability.
You should consult a hip specialist if you have persistent hip or groin pain, stiffness, reduced range of motion, clicking sounds, or difficulty participating in regular activities despite rest and medication.
Yes. A structured rehabilitation plan is crucial after hip arthroscopy. It helps restore muscle strength, joint mobility, and ensures a faster return to sports or daily activities.
Hip preservation procedures like arthroscopy are ideal for younger and middle-aged patients. In older patients with arthritis or cartilage loss, total hip replacement may be more effective. Dr. Shah carefully evaluates each case for the best outcome.
The cost typically ranges from ₹85,000 to ₹1,50,000, depending on the complexity, implants used, and hospital facilities. Dr. Darshan Shah provides customized packages with clear pre-treatment cost estimates.
Yes. Most hip preservation surgeries like labral repair, FAI correction, or trauma fixation are covered under health insurance if they are medically necessary. Our hospital team assists with pre-authorization and claim support.
Yes. We have EMI facilities and work with healthcare finance partners to make treatment affordable. Contact our billing desk to know more.
