Using minimally invasive techniques, hip arthroscopy, or hip replacement surgery as needed, Dr. Shubhankar Shekhar tailors treatments to each patient’s needs. His focus is always on restoring function, improving quality of life, and ensuring a safe, speedy recovery.
Hip Trauma
Hip fractures and dislocations demand timely and expert care to prevent long-term disability. Whether resulting from road accidents, falls, or high-energy trauma, each case is handled by Dr. Shubhankar with surgical accuracy and a rehabilitation-first mindset.
Hip trauma, whether from falls, accidents, or sports injuries, requires prompt, expert intervention to prevent long-term complications. At Mrityunjay Orthopedic Hospital, Meerut, Dr. Shubhankar Shekhar provides advanced fracture fixation, joint preservation, or hip replacement procedures to address hip injuries effectively.
His approach emphasizes early mobilization, precise surgical repair, and comprehensive rehabilitation, ensuring patients recover strength, stability, and confidence in their hip function.
We offer:
- Rapid imaging and stabilization
- Complex fracture reconstruction (acetabular and femoral)
- Minimally invasive fixation with early mobilization protocols
Dr. Shubhankar’s trauma work prioritizes early return to mobility and prevention of future joint complications.
Labral Injuries
The hip labrum is a ring of cartilage that stabilizes the joint. Tears can result from sports, trauma, or structural abnormalities and often go undiagnosed.
Labral injuries of the hip can cause deep groin pain, clicking sensations, and reduced range of motion. Dr. Shubhankar Shekhar at Mrityunjay Orthopedic Hospital, Meerut specializes in diagnosing and treating these injuries, often using hip arthroscopy to repair the damaged labrum with minimal disruption.
By addressing labral tears early, Dr. Shubhankar Shekhar helps patients prevent cartilage damage, preserve hip joint health, and return to their active lifestyles without chronic discomfort.
Diagnosis & Treatment at MOH:
- MRI arthrograms for clear imaging
- Conservative options for early-stage tears
- Arthroscopic labral repair or debridement
Under Dr. Shubhankar, labral tears are addressed at the root to restore full hip function without overcorrecting.
Hip Replacement
Hip joint degeneration—due to arthritis, avascular necrosis, or previous trauma—can severely impact quality of life. At MOH, patients undergo direct anterior approach (DAA) hip replacement, an advanced, muscle-sparing technique available at very few centers globally.
Hip replacement surgery is a life-changing solution for patients with severe arthritis or joint damage. At Mrityunjay Orthopedic Hospital, Meerut, Dr. Shubhankar Shekhar offers both partial and total hip replacement options using advanced prosthetics and minimally invasive techniques.
His meticulous approach ensures reduced surgical trauma, faster recovery, and long-lasting joint performance, allowing patients to regain mobility, independence, and an improved quality of life.

This department defines a new standard in hip care—blending surgical finesse with world-class technology.
Direct Anterior Approach (DAA) Hip Replacement by Dr. Shubhankar Shekhar at Mrityunjay Hospital, Meerut
What is the Direct Anterior Approach (DAA) in Hip Replacement?
The Direct Anterior Approach (DAA) is a minimally invasive surgical technique used in total hip replacement. Unlike traditional methods that involve cutting through muscles, the DAA allows surgeons to access the hip joint through natural muscle planes, significantly reducing tissue trauma. This muscle-sparing technique results in faster recovery, less pain, and improved early mobility for patients undergoing hip replacement.
Why Choose DAA Hip Replacement?
- Muscle Preservation: No major muscles are cut, leading to quicker post-op recovery.
- Faster Mobilization: Most patients begin walking within 24 hours.
- Reduced Risk of Dislocation: The approach provides more stability to the replaced joint.
- Smaller Incision & Less Blood Loss
- Shorter Hospital Stay & Faster Return to Routine
- No precautions needed after surgery
