Surgical hip dislocation is an open technique in which the surgeon safely dislocates the hip to reach the whole joint, used for impingement, deformity after childhood hip conditions and some fractures of the ball of the hip.

The technique was described by Ganz and colleagues and is summarised in a 2021 systematic review in the World Journal of Orthopedics: the surgeon cuts the bony prominence on the side of the hip and then dislocates the joint while protecting its blood supply.

Common reasons include extensive impingement, deformity after slipped capital femoral epiphysis or Perthes disease, and some fractures.

Crutches and protected weight-bearing are normally required for a number of weeks while the bone cut heals, and full recovery takes months.

The review reports major complications in 3.3% of Ganz's original 213 people, and for fractures it reports non-healing of the bone cut in about 3.4%, loss of blood supply to the ball in about 12% and extra bone formation in about 25%.

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 surgical hip dislocation is normally made up of these items:

• 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.
• Condition: impingement, deformity or fracture.
• Bone cut: fixed with screws.
• Stay: a few days.
• Protected weight-bearing: for a number of weeks.

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

Orthopaedic departments in Gurgaon cover joint replacement, arthroscopy and trauma, usually with in-house physiotherapy so that patients start moving soon after surgery.

NABH, the hospital accreditation board of the Quality Council of India whose standards carry ISQua accreditation, sets the national benchmark for hospitals, and its online directory shows whether a Gurgaon hospital's accreditation is still current.

Gurgaon is part of Delhi NCR, where India's first hospital to gain Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation did so in 2005, and JCI publishes a searchable list of the organisations it currently accredits.

Gurgaon was officially renamed Gurugram by the Haryana government in 2016, so hospital letters, maps and taxi apps may use either name.
