Groin Pain in Younger Adults Is Often the Hip, Not a Pull
A deep ache in the groin, a catch when you stand up from a low chair, a pinch when you fold into a car seat: these are easy to brush off as a muscle pull that will settle on its own. In active adults, though, they are often the early signs of a hip problem inside the joint itself. Many people in Baner spend months stretching and resting a groin that never quite recovers, because the real issue is not the muscle at all.
Hip arthroscopy is the keyhole operation that reaches these problems without a large incision. Dr. Ashwin Deshmukh, a hip arthroscopy surgeon in Baner with a dedicated Fellowship in Arthroscopy, treats labral tears and hip impingement through small openings, with the goal of preserving the patient’s own joint. Hip arthroscopy is one of the more technically demanding keyhole procedures, which makes the surgeon’s training particularly important. This page explains what he treats, how the surgery works, where to find him, and what it costs.
Hip arthroscopy repairs problems inside the hip through small cuts, most often labral tears and impingement. It is especially valuable for younger and active patients, because preserving the natural joint can delay or avoid the need for hip replacement later.
Why Dr. Ashwin Deshmukh for Hip Arthroscopy
The hip is a deep ball-and-socket joint, set further inside the body than the knee or shoulder, which makes keyhole access to it genuinely demanding. Hip arthroscopy is therefore a procedure where focused arthroscopy training matters more, not less.
Dr. Deshmukh completed his MBBS and MS Orthopaedics at Dr. D Y Patil Medical College in Pimpri-Chinchwad, followed by a dedicated Fellowship in Arthroscopy at Lokmanya Hospital, Nigdi. That fellowship grounding in keyhole joint surgery is exactly the background suited to a joint as deep and unforgiving as the hip, where the aim is to treat the problem while protecting the healthy cartilage around it.

What Hip Arthroscopy Involves
Hip arthroscopy is a minimally invasive operation. The surgeon makes a few small cuts around the hip, gently creates space in the joint, and inserts a pencil-thin camera called an arthroscope to view the joint on a screen. Fine instruments pass through the other cuts to repair the torn labrum, reshape bone that is causing impingement, or remove loose fragments. Because the joint is reached through small openings, the muscles around the hip are largely preserved.
Looking inside the joint directly also sharpens the diagnosis. Hip and groin pain can be hard to pin down on scans alone, and the camera shows the true state of the labrum and cartilage, often allowing the problem to be confirmed and treated in a single procedure.
Hip Problems This Surgery Treats
Dr. Deshmukh uses hip arthroscopy to repair a range of problems or to confirm a diagnosis that scans have left unclear. Common reasons include:
- Labral tears: damage to the rim of cartilage that seals and stabilises the hip socket
- Hip impingement (FAI): extra bone that pinches the joint during movement and causes groin pain
- Loose fragments: small pieces of bone or cartilage floating inside the joint
- Cartilage damage: worn or torn patches on the joint surface
- Unexplained groin or hip pain: where examination and scans have not given a clear answer
Â
Hip impingement, where extra bone causes the joint to pinch, is a common but often missed cause of groin pain in active adults. Identifying it early can prevent the slow cartilage damage that leads to arthritis.
The Labrum and Why Preserving the Hip Matters
The labrum is a ring of cartilage that lines the hip socket, sealing the joint and helping it stay stable and well lubricated. When it tears, often alongside impingement, the result is groin pain, catching, and a hip that feels neither stable nor smooth.
The reason to take a labral tear seriously is what it protects. A hip with a healthy labrum and smooth cartilage can last a lifetime, while one left to grind against pinching bone can wear toward arthritis far sooner. Hip arthroscopy aims to repair the labrum and correct the impingement before that damage sets in, which is why it is so valuable for younger and active patients who have many years of movement ahead. Preserving the natural joint now can delay or avoid a hip replacement later.
What Happens on the Day of Surgery
Knowing the steps in advance takes a lot of the worry out of surgery. A typical hip arthroscopy runs like this:
- Anaesthesia: general or regional, decided with you and the anaesthetist
- Gentle traction: a little space is created in the joint to allow access
- A few small cuts: made around the hip for the camera and instruments
- Closing up: the small cuts are closed with a stitch or an adhesive strip
- Closing up: the small cuts are closed with a stitch or an adhesive strip
Crutches are usually used for a short period afterwards to protect the joint while it begins to heal.
Recovery and Getting Back to Normal
Hip arthroscopy recovery is gradual and guided. Crutches are used at first to take load off the joint, and they are set aside over the following weeks as comfort and strength return. Early movement is encouraged within safe limits, because gentle motion helps the joint settle and reduces stiffness.
Physiotherapy is central to a good outcome. A structured plan restores movement, then strength and control around the hip, over a period of weeks to a few months depending on what was repaired. Dr. Deshmukh sets out clear stages so you always know what to do next. Returning to sport is planned as a later, separate phase once the joint is stable and strong, which protects the repair and lowers the risk of a fresh problem.
Recovery tip:Â Use the crutches for as long as advised, even when the hip starts to feel good. Taking load off the joint early is what gives the labral repair the best chance to heal fully.
