Hip Realignment in Pune

Hip Realignment

Hip Realignment, or Osteotomy, is a surgical procedure designed to correct structural abnormalities in the hip joint, such as dysplasia (shallow hip socket) or femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). By realigning the hip socket or the femur, we can improve the mechanics of the joint, redistribute weight-bearing forces, and relieve chronic pain. This procedure is especially beneficial for younger patients aiming to preserve their natural hip joint and delay or prevent the onset of osteoarthritis.

Dr. Varun Shelke employs advanced 3D imaging and planning to execute precise realignment surgeries. Whether it's a Periacetabular Osteotomy (PAO) for hip dysplasia or a femoral osteotomy for deformities, our goal is to enhance joint stability and congruency. These procedures require meticulous surgical skill and a deep understanding of hip biomechanics, both of which are specialties of our clinic.

Recovery from hip realignment surgery involves a structured rehabilitation phase to allow the bone to heal and muscles to strengthen around the repositioned joint. We guide our patients through every step, from initial non-weight bearing to progressive strengthening exercises. By addressing the root cause of hip instability or impingement, we aim to provide long-lasting relief and improved function for an active life.
