Dr. Ankkur Kumar
You have lived with this pain long enough.
Modern hip replacement means walking the next day, home in 3 days.
Back to your life in weeks. Not months.
There comes a point when hip pain is no longer just discomfort.
It is not being able to put on your shoes without help.
It is sitting through a family dinner and counting the minutes until you can lie down.
It is watching grandchildren play and not being able to join them.
It is waking at 3am because the pain will not let you sleep.
If you have reached that point, hip replacement surgery is not something to be afraid of.
It is the decision that gives your life back.
Dr. Ankkur Kumar has performed this surgery hundreds of times. He knows what you are going through. And he knows how to fix it.

What the right surgeon means for you
DAA MIS technique means you are on your feet the day after surgery — not weeks later.
No cutting through muscle means faster healing. Home in 3 days — not to a rehab centre.
Precision placement means the implant fits perfectly and lasts decades. You will not be doing this again.
If you do not need surgery yet, Dr. Ankkur will tell you that. No pressure. Ever.
Most hip replacements are done through a large incision at the side or back
of the hip — cutting through muscle to reach the joint.
Dr. Ankkur uses
a different approach.
The Direct Anterior Approach Minimally Invasive Surgery reaches the hip joint from the front, between the muscles rather than through them. This is not experimental. It is the gold standard of hip replacement surgery — and Dr. Ankkur is one of the few surgeons in Pune trained to perform it.
Hip or groin pain does not always mean the joint needs replacing. Some people improve with physiotherapy and strengthening, activity changes, weight management, walking aids, pain-relief medication and, in selected cases, injections. Other conditions, such as problems with the back or the soft tissues around the hip, can cause similar pain, so an accurate diagnosis matters. You can read more on our hip pain treatment page.
Hip replacement is usually discussed when pain and stiffness keep affecting your sleep, walking or daily tasks despite these measures, and X-rays show significant damage to the joint. It is also advised for some hip fractures and for a hip that has been damaged by loss of blood supply to the bone.
Dr. Ankkur Kumar will examine you, review your X-rays and explain whether surgery is needed now, later or not at all.
Hip replacement is a major operation and carries risks. These can include infection, blood clots, the new joint coming out of position (dislocation), a difference in leg length, stiffness, ongoing discomfort, wear of the implant over time and, rarely, the need for further surgery. Your own level of risk depends on your age, general health, existing conditions and medicines, which is why a full assessment comes first.

Experienced specialist in Knee Replacement Surgery in Pune and hip replacement, using modern minimally invasive techniques.
His patients do not just recover. They come back to thank him. They send their parents. They refer their neighbours. That is the only endorsement that matters.
I had been limping for two years. Three weeks after surgery with Dr. Ankkur I walked to the market on my own. My family could not believe it. Neither could I.
I was scared of surgery. Dr. Ankkur sat with me for 45 minutes and answered every question. He never rushed me. He told me what to expect. That trust made all the difference.
Three surgeons told me I needed surgery immediately. Dr. Ankkur looked at my scans and said I could wait six months and try this approach first. He was right. He saved me from an unnecessary procedure.
DAA MIS — Direct Anterior Approach Minimally Invasive Surgery — reaches the hip joint from the front, between muscles rather than through them, resulting in less pain and faster recovery.
Hip replacement surgery in Pune costs approximately ₹2,50,000 to ₹4,50,000 depending on implant type and hospital. Dr. Ankkur Kumar provides transparent pricing with no hidden costs.
With DAA MIS hip replacement, most patients walk the next day and go home by day 3, when physiotherapy also begins. Full recovery timelines are discussed individually at your consultation.
The location of your pain is usually the clearest sign — hip replacement addresses pain felt in the groin, outer hip or thigh, while knee replacement addresses pain at the knee joint itself.
