"After two years of physio, the council was clear: the hip needs to come out."
— Surinder Kaur, 69 · DLF Phase 1, Gurgaon
Before Orthosist
"I'd had hip pain for years — first one hip, then both. My daughters tried everything for me. Physio at two well-known centres in Gurgaon, Ayurveda for 8 months, even a hip injection that helped briefly. By 2024 my world had shrunk to the ground floor of our DLF house. Climbing stairs was out. Walking to the gate to receive guests was out."
"A surgeon at Sector 14 said replacement. We came to Orthosist hoping they'd say no — that there was one more thing to try. We weren't ready to accept surgery emotionally."
The Orthosist Council Verdict
Diagnosis: Left hip severe osteoarthritis with joint space obliteration. Right hip moderate OA. 2+ years of well-documented failed conservative care.
Surgery required? Yes — Total Hip Replacement (left side first) is the right call.
Recommended next steps: 3 surgeons with strong outcomes in 65+ patients. Pre-op physio + cardiac clearance. Post-op rehab to start the day after discharge.
After surgery
"They didn't try to talk us into it. They showed us the imaging, explained what years of degeneration looked like, and walked through what surgery would and wouldn't fix. We picked a surgeon they recommended at a hospital they didn't own. Surgery in October 2024. Today, my granddaughter and I walk to her school every morning — 600 metres each way. Six months ago that was unthinkable."
"They were the first people who didn't try to sell me something. They just told me the truth."
