Key Services
Hip Pain & Hip Arthritis Treatment
Hip arthritis is a common cause of long-standing hip pain and stiffness, especially in older adults. It typically leads to progressive joint damage and reduced mobility if left untreated.
Treatment options may include:
- Lifestyle and activity modification
- Medications (as needed)
- Physiotherapy to improve strength and movement
- Injection therapy (for selected cases)
- Surgery in advanced arthritis
Total Hip Replacement Surgery
When hip arthritis becomes severe and significantly affects walking and daily activities, hip replacement surgery can offer long-term pain relief and restored mobility.
Dr. Nikhil performs hip replacement surgery with precision and evidence-based techniques to improve function and quality of life.
Hip replacement is often recommended when:
- Pain persists despite physiotherapy and medicines
- Walking becomes painful or difficult
- Stiffness restricts daily movement
- Hip joint damage is advanced on imaging
Hip Fracture Management
Hip fractures are common in elderly patients after falls and require urgent orthopaedic evaluation. Proper timing and treatment are important to restore mobility and prevent complications.
Hip fracture care may include:
- Emergency fracture assessment
- X-ray/CT confirmation
- Fracture fixation or surgical management (based on type)
- Pain management and early mobilisation planning
- Rehabilitation support post-treatment
Pelvis & Acetabular Trauma Care
Pelvic injuries can occur after road traffic accidents, falls from height, or high-impact trauma. These injuries require careful evaluation, accurate imaging, and expert planning.
Dr. Nikhil has extensive experience in managing complex orthopaedic trauma cases, including pelvic and acetabular injuries.
Treatment may include:
- Trauma assessment and stabilisation
- CT-based fracture mapping
- Surgical fixation when required
- Long-term rehabilitation planning
Avascular Necrosis (AVN)
Avascular necrosis (AVN) occurs when blood supply to the hip bone reduces, causing gradual bone collapse and severe hip pain over time.
Common symptoms include:
- Deep groin pain
- Pain while walking or weight-bearing
- Progressive stiffness and reduced movement
Treatment depends on stage and severity, and may include:
- Conservative management in early stages
- Joint-preserving options in selected cases
- Hip replacement in advanced stages

Recently we had a shoulder and hip surgery for my dad done through Dr Nikhil. He is very polite and shares the surgery procedures and outcomes in detail. Not only during surgery, he constantly follows up post surgery as well to check the health status of the patient and provides the right guidance for faster recovery. Took the right decision to have surgery for my dad done through him. Thank you Dr Nikhil.

I recently had the occasion of consulting Dr. Nikhil, who comes across as a close relative. Although this review might seem motivated, his advice helped me with my long standing issue with respect to having a flat feet. The treatment plan that he suggested and after following it with utmost patience, I can say that he has helped me cure something chronic in the lightest form possible. His approach to my predicament is commendable and I cannot stress on how anyone dealing with ortho related issues should consult him once. Thank you, doc!
