Hip Arthroscopy Cost in Gurgaon, India

The cost of hip arthroscopy in Gurgaon typically ranges from $620 to $6,000 USD (about ₹58,800 to ₹5.69 lakh), depending on the hospital, room category and type of procedure.

A typical estimate for hip arthroscopy in Gurgaon is around $2,000 (about ₹1.90 lakh). What you pay depends mainly on your own case. If a standard implant is used and you stay in a shared room, your bill is likely to be closer to $620 (about ₹58,800). It is likely to be nearer $6,000 (about ₹5.69 lakh) if a specialised implant is used, both sides are treated, it is a repeat operation or you choose a private room.

When comparing Gurgaon packages for hip arthroscopy, check whether each quote includes:

• Surgeon and anaesthetist fees
• Operating theatre or procedure room
• Implants, plates or screws
• Physiotherapy
• Hospital stay and room category
• Medicines and consumables
• Follow-up visits before you fly home

Hip arthroscopy is keyhole surgery in which a small camera inside the hip joint is used to treat issues including impingement, where the ball and socket catch against each other, and tears of the labrum, the cartilage rim of the socket.

Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust says that hip arthroscopy is used for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), labral tears and early cartilage damage after rest, pain relief, physiotherapy and injections have failed.

It is normally unsuitable once arthritis is established, when a hip replacement may be discussed instead.

The operation lasts one to three hours, and the majority of people can bear full weight, although this may be restricted for six weeks after microfracture; the trust notes office work is commonly possible after about two weeks and competitive sport after three to six months.

Risks include infection, nerve injury, blood clots and lack of improvement, and pain may return if a repaired labrum fails to heal.

Flying home: aviation guidance sets no single wait for bone and joint operations, but leg surgery makes clots on long flights more likely, so ask how to prevent them; UK Civil Aviation Authority medical guidance suggests 24 to 48 hours after a plaster cast.

A Gurgaon quote for hip arthroscopy is normally made up of these items:

• Tests before the operation: X-rays, other scans and an anaesthetic check.
• Theatre and anaesthetic: charged mainly by operating time.
• Implant choice: brand and type of joint, plate or screws.
• Rehabilitation: physiotherapy on the ward and once you leave.
• Problem treated: impingement, labral tear or cartilage.
• Labrum: repair or trimming.
• Stay: day case or one night.
• Physiotherapy: for a number of months.

Ask each Gurgaon hospital for an itemised estimate showing any implants or devices, surgeon, theatre, stay and physiotherapy, so offers can be compared fairly.
