Most patients start walking with support within 24–48 hours of surgery and return to normal daily activities within 6–12 weeks. Full recovery, including muscle strength and flexibility, may take 3–6 months with proper physiotherapy. Dr. Keyur Shah provides a customised rehabilitation plan for every patient.

Hip replacement is generally recommended when arthritis, injury, or joint degeneration causes persistent pain and limits mobility, regardless of age. While it is common in patients above 50, younger patients with severe joint damage from injury or avascular necrosis may also require it. Dr. Keyur Shah evaluates each case individually before recommending surgery.

Modern hip replacement implants typically last 15–20 years or more with proper care and activity modification. Advances in implant materials have significantly improved durability. Dr. Keyur Shah selects the implant best suited to your age, activity level, and bone quality.

Keep the injured limb immobile, avoid putting weight on it, apply a cold pack to reduce swelling, and seek immediate medical attention. Do not attempt to realign the bone yourself. Dr. Keyur Shah and the team at Ananta Multispeciality Hospital provide round-the-clock emergency fracture and trauma care.

No. Many simple fractures heal well with a cast, splint, or brace. Surgery is generally recommended for displaced, complex, or unstable fractures, or those involving joints, to ensure proper alignment and faster, more reliable healing. Dr. Keyur Shah determines the best treatment based on X-rays and the type of fracture.

Yes. Bone deformity correction addresses issues such as bowed legs, knock knees, or malunited fractures using bracing, guided growth techniques, or corrective surgery depending on the patient's age and the severity of the deformity. Dr. Keyur Shah evaluates each case to recommend the safest and most effective approach.

Osteoporosis is managed through calcium and vitamin D supplementation, bone-strengthening medication, weight-bearing exercise, and fall-prevention strategies to reduce fracture risk. Dr. Keyur Shah also treats fractures resulting from osteoporosis with techniques suited to fragile bone.

Joint pain is commonly caused by arthritis (osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis), overuse injuries, ligament or cartilage damage, and age-related wear and tear. Dr. Keyur Shah conducts a thorough clinical examination and imaging to accurately diagnose the underlying cause before recommending treatment.

Yes, in early to moderate stages, arthritis is managed through medication, physiotherapy, weight management, activity modification, and joint injections. Surgery, such as joint replacement, is generally considered when conservative treatment no longer relieves pain or restores function.

You should consult Dr. Keyur Shah if back pain persists beyond a few days, radiates down the legs, is accompanied by numbness or weakness, or follows an injury. Early evaluation helps prevent minor spine issues from progressing into more serious conditions.

Frozen shoulder is a condition causing stiffness and pain that gradually restricts shoulder movement. Treatment typically includes physiotherapy, anti-inflammatory medication, and joint injections. In persistent cases, Dr. Keyur Shah may recommend manipulation under anaesthesia or arthroscopic release for faster relief.

Common sports injuries include ligament tears (like ACL), meniscus injuries, muscle strains, shoulder dislocations, ankle sprains, and stress fractures. Dr. Keyur Shah offers comprehensive evaluation and treatment, from conservative rehabilitation to arthroscopic surgery, to get athletes and active individuals back to their sport safely.

ACL reconstruction surgery repairs a torn anterior cruciate ligament in the knee, commonly injured during sports involving sudden stops or direction changes. It is recommended for patients with significant knee instability who wish to return to an active or sporting lifestyle. Dr. Keyur Shah uses minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques for faster recovery.

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that uses a small camera and instruments inserted through tiny incisions to diagnose and treat joint problems, most commonly in the knee and shoulder. It results in less pain, smaller scars, and faster recovery compared to open surgery.

Ligament injuries are diagnosed through clinical examination and imaging such as MRI. Treatment ranges from rest, bracing, and physiotherapy for mild sprains to arthroscopic surgical repair or reconstruction for complete tears. Dr. Keyur Shah tailors treatment to the severity of the injury and the patient's activity goals.

Dr. Keyur Shah treats a wide range of hand and wrist conditions including fractures, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendon injuries, arthritis, and sports-related trauma, using both conservative and surgical approaches depending on severity.

Ankle sprains, fractures, tendon injuries, flat feet, bunions, and persistent heel or foot pain should be evaluated by an orthopedic surgeon. Dr. Keyur Shah provides accurate diagnosis and both non-surgical and surgical treatment options for lasting relief.

During your consultation, Dr. Keyur Shah reviews your medical history, examines the affected area, and may recommend X-rays or an MRI to confirm the diagnosis. You will then receive a clear explanation of your condition along with a personalised, transparent treatment plan.
