About Mr Chauhan
More than twenty years of hip practice, in one pair of hands
Mr Chatenya Chauhan has been a Consultant Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgeon since 2002. His practice is built around the hip, from joint-preserving treatment in younger patients through to total hip replacement.
You will meet Mr Chauhan at every stage: the first consultation, the imaging review, the operation itself and each follow-up appointment. Decisions are made together, and the aim is always the treatment that gives the best long-term result rather than the quickest one.
What I treat
From first consultation to full recovery
Hip pain has many causes and not all of them need an operation. These pages explain the options in plain language so you can arrive at your consultation already knowing the questions you want to ask.
Total Hip Replacement
When the joint surface is worn beyond repair, a replacement reliably removes arthritic pain and restores movement. Modern implants and bearing surfaces are designed to last decades.
Hip Joint Injections
A guided injection can settle inflammation, confirm that the hip is the true source of your pain, and buy time before any decision about surgery is made.
Preparing and Recovering
What to bring to your consultation, how to prepare your home, what the day of the operation involves and the milestones to expect in the weeks that follow.
Latest Hip Research
Implant materials, joint preservation, injection therapies and rehabilitation, and what the current evidence means for the choices in front of you.
My approach
Every hip is different. The right operation at the right time, and sometimes no operation at all, is what protects a good result twenty years from now.
Your pathway
What to expect
01
Consultation
A full history and examination, an honest discussion of how much the hip is limiting you, and time to ask everything you want to ask.
02
Imaging and plan
X-rays, and where needed an MRI or CT scan, reviewed with you so that you can see exactly what is happening inside the joint before anything is decided.
03
Treatment and recovery
Injection, joint preservation or replacement, followed by a rehabilitation plan and follow-up appointments with Mr Chauhan himself.
