Regain Your Mobility. Eliminate Hip Pain. Your hips are the foundation of your mobility. They bear your body's weight and enable you to walk, run, sit, and perform countless daily activities. When hip pain strikes due to injury, arthritis, or degenerative conditions, it can significantly diminish your quality of life, making even simple tasks challenging. At Dr. Ulhas Sonar's Orthopaedic Clinic, we specialize in advanced hip surgery and hip replacement procedures designed to relieve pain, restore function, and get you back on your feet. Whether you require a partial or total hip replacement, or a surgical intervention for a fracture or other hip condition, Dr. Sonar combines expert surgical skill with the latest techniques to ensure the best possible outcomes for every patient. Understanding Hip Conditions We treat a comprehensive range of hip conditions, including: Osteoarthritis: The wear-and-tear of cartilage that cushions the hip joint, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Rheumatoid Arthritis: An autoimmune condition that causes inflammation of the joint lining, resulting in pain and joint damage. Avascular Necrosis: A condition where the blood supply to the femoral head (the “ball“ of the hip joint) is compromised, causing bone death and collapse. Post-Traumatic Arthritis: Arthritis that develops after a hip injury or fracture. Hip Fractures: Breaks in the upper part of the thigh bone, often due to falls or trauma, which may require surgical fixation or replacement. Hip Dysplasia: A condition where the hip socket is too shallow to fully cover the ball of the joint, leading to instability and early arthritis. Our Surgical Services Total Hip Replacement (Arthroplasty) Total hip replacement is a highly successful procedure for patients with severe hip pain and disability. During the surgery, the damaged “ball“ (femoral head) and “socket“ (acetabulum) are removed and replaced with state-of-the-art artificial components. These high-performance implants are designed to mimic the natural movement of the hip, providing smooth, pain-free motion. Our advanced surgical techniques and premium materials ensure that your new hip is durable and long-lasting. Partial Hip Replacement (Hemiarthroplasty) In cases where only the “ball“ portion of the hip joint is damaged (commonly in certain types of fractures), a partial hip replacement may be recommended. This procedure involves replacing only the femoral head while preserving the natural socket. It is a less extensive surgery with a quicker recovery, ideal for specific patient needs. Hip Revision Surgery Over time, even the best hip replacements may require revision due to wear, loosening, or infection. Hip revision surgery is a more complex procedure that involves removing the old or failed implant and replacing it with a new one. Dr. Sonar has extensive experience in managing these challenging cases, using specialized implants and techniques to restore stability and function. Minimally Invasive Hip Surgery Whenever possible, we utilize minimally invasive surgical techniques. This approach involves smaller incisions and less disruption to the surrounding muscles and soft tissues. The benefits for our patients include: Less post-operative pain Reduced blood loss Smaller scars Shorter hospital stay Faster recovery and return to normal activities What to Expect Before Surgery: Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Sonar. He will evaluate your condition, review your medical history, and perform a thorough physical examination. Advanced imaging (X-rays or MRI) will help us plan your surgery with precision.

During Surgery: Dr. Sonar will perform your hip replacement using the most advanced techniques and high-quality implants.

After Surgery & Recovery: Your recovery begins immediately after surgery with a focus on pain management and early mobilization. Our team of physiotherapists will work closely with you to guide you through a customized rehabilitation program. This program is designed to strengthen your new hip, restore your range of motion, and help you regain your independence.
