Santosh Jacob's approach to hip surgery combines minimally invasive technique with patient-specific pre-operative planning. Whether managing a labral tear in a young athlete, repairing a proximal hamstring rupture, or performing a total hip replacement using customised implants and image-based planning, his focus is on restoring natural movement and long-term function for every patient.

PROCEDURES
Total Hip Replacement
Patient-specific implants selected using image-based pre-operative planning, combined with minimally invasive technique for faster recovery and long-term function.
Hip Arthroscopy and Labral Repair
Keyhole repair of the cartilage rim to restore stability and relieve deep groin pain, often supplemented with platelet-rich plasma or other biologics.
Hamstring Repair and Reconstruction
Surgical reattachment of torn proximal hamstring tendons to restore leg strength. Best outcomes when treated early after complete rupture.
Gluteal Tendon Repair and Augmentation
Restores lateral hip strength and stability for patients with chronic gluteal tendon pain or rupture.
Steroid Injections and PRP
Image-guided injections for anti-inflammatory relief, and platelet-rich plasma for tendinopathy and labral conditions.
Conservative Management
Specialist loading programs and bracing for tendinopathy where non-surgical management is appropriate.
Why patients and referrers choose Santosh for Hips
Patient-Specific Hip Replacement
Santosh uses image-based pre-operative planning and customised implants for every hip replacement he performs. This approach optimises implant positioning for each individual patient's anatomy rather than relying on a standardised off-the-shelf technique, improving alignment and long-term outcomes.
Platelet-rich plasma and other biologics are routinely incorporated into labral repair and tendon reconstruction procedures. This approach supports the body's natural healing response and is particularly valuable for patients wanting to return to sport or an active lifestyle.
Biologics-Enhanced Repair
Advanced Care, Compassionately Delivered
Robotic-guided technology and image-based planning support every hip replacement and preservation procedure, delivered with the compassion and clear communication that helps patients feel confident in their care.
