  I can not say enough about Dr. Hosalkar, he has been a true blessing to my son Zackary, my family and me. My son and I have a rare Bone Disease called Multiple Hereditary Exostoses(MHE) and Dr. Hosalkar is one of the VERY few Doctors around that know anything about MHE. He has done both of my son's hips with a surgery that Dislocates the hip and then he restores the hip. My son went 12 years without barely any movement in his hips and now he has 100% movement. Night and Day difference. He has also performed that same surgery on my right hip. Through out the 4 years we have been with Dr. H he has perform many surgeries for Zack & I and all with great success... He his like family to us. He is always there for us. I have recommended him to many and all have come back to me with Great Thanks, loving him just as much as we do. If I had my way Dr. Hosalkar would be my everything Doctor, the only Doctor I would go see... There is not enough "stars" to rate him because he is beyond the very Best.

  I was an 11 year old girl who arrived to Rady's Children Hospital here in San Diego . I was diagnosed with Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis by Dr.Hosalkar and was told that my femur had dislocated and because my mom waited too long to take to a doctor the head of my femur had a shape just like a pear and it needed to be reshaped. I needed surgery not only on my right hip but also in my left hip and both knees.My right femur was reshaped and placed back and has nails going in the lateral side all the way down to my mid thigh, a nail was put in my left hip to prevent a similar slip. My right knee cap was misplaced due to a prior fall in school and a nail was put on the side of my knee to keep it on the right place, my left knee was stapled to stop it from growing letting my right leg grow because of the slipped femur my right leg was shorter than my left leg. It's been 6 years going on 7 since Dr.Hosalkar and his team in Rady's Children did a magnificent job on me. Now I am an 16 years old almost 17 and almost a senior in high school and considering a career in ortho and since December 2011 I have been so thankful to Dr.Hosalkar . If you ever read this Dr.Hosalkar, Thank You Thank You so much for making a 11 year old girl safe and hopeful during the worst times for me and my mom.

  As a commercial Boeing 757 pilot, Matthew Halstead was responsible for carefully guiding 255,000 pounds of metal through the air at 600 MPH. He did it well, and he did it with precision. But the accident that would prove to be the life-changing event for Halstead didn’t involve giant aircraft hurtling through space. The things that changed his life on a balmy Bahamian night on December 12, 2013 was a motorized Razor Scooter and a pothole.

  A crushed ankle and a damaged hip. That was the reality that Jonathan Hoehn, 22, faced one year ago this month after suffering a motorcycle accident in San Diego. He was rushed to a local hospital where they immediately performed surgery on him to repair the critical damage. The bones mended, but the pain remained. “The doctor told me that after six months, I should be well enough to go back to work,” Hoehn related. “But my ankle and hip were still killing me, still very painful.”

  SDSU Student’s Remarkable Journey After Life-Changing Surgery
  
  Source: www.paradisevalleyhospital.net
  
  Snyder visited the SDSU Health Center and the orthopedist there referred her to Dr. Harish Hosalkar, a renowned Southern California specialist in pediatric, adolescent and adult hip preservation and reconstruction, deformity correction, limb reconstruction, and orthopedic trauma.
  
  Dr. Hosalkar diagnosed a massive symptomatic labral tear in her left hip. The labrum is a fibrocartilage rim that surrounds the hip joint and gives it stability. This cartilage seals the joint, deepens the socket and protects the joint by decreasing external impact to the joint. A tear to the labrum causes tremendous pain and athletic people are particularly susceptible to this injury.

  He is one of the best Ortho-Surgeon in town !
  
  Dr.Hosalkar gave us one of the best experience. My dad (visiting USA) got hit by a car due to reckless driving and had acute tibial plateau fracture. Doctor Hosalkar and his team performed surgical fixation in his left knee and treated for the same. His office and staffs were so friendly and accomodated us knowing the gravity of our situation. Dr. Hosalkar was thoroughly professional and deeply knowledgeable who explained my dad before each and every treatment/procedure. He ensured my dad understood and felt comfortable with each step. I felt lucky to have met Dr.Hosalkar at the right moment and definitely recommend him to my colleagues and family who suffer from hip & joint accidents. He is one of the best Ortho-Surgeon in town !

  My daughter needed surgery on her foot to remove a piece of a sewing needle that had lodged in the bottom of her foot. The emergency room doctor referred us to Dr. Hosalkar when he could not remove it with a local anesthetic. Dr. Hosalkar agreed to see us the very next day and scheduled her surgery within two days. He explained everything in detail and gave her three options. He took plenty of time with her. We never felt rushed while in his office. He and his staff were extremely pleasant, personable and professional. Surgery was short and successful and she is on the road to recovery. We would highly recommend Dr. Hosalkar!

  I am a Teenager with badly broken collar bone!! Here’s my story….
  
  Dr Hosalkar was the first one to diagnose my hip problem and fix it!!
  
  My name is Jenel Kadlick and I am an active 33 year old mother of two little girls.
  
  Jenel KadlickI’ve been an avid runner for 8 years, however the past three years I have gone from running to barely being able to walk. After I had my first child I started back into marathon training and soon I realized something was just not right, I had a lot of low back pain at first, went into Physical Therapy and was told I needed to strengthen my core. Six months into strengthening and running I was still having pain and to the point it held me back from running at times, I was told it was my SI joint and I had countless cortisone injections, then my pain really started to get worse, and I started having groin pain and deep buttock pain. I finally had to stop running altogether a year into my pain journey. I remember being on holiday in Italy and in crippling pain walking through the Vatican, not how I wanted to remember Italy or live my life.
  
  Fast forward to a year and a half later and another pregnancy, I was in tremendous pain, I decided it was time to find the right doctor to help me, all the doctors I saw prior to Dr. Hosalkar would just tell me I needed to deal with the pain and stop running, being only 33 I thought that was a crazy thing to tell someone! I finally found a great GP who guided me in the direction towards Dr. Hosalkar, and boy am I glad he did!
  
  Dr. Hosalkar was the first doctor I had seen that took me serious and took the time to find out what was wrong. I knew the pain was now coming from my hip, but all other doctors did not believe me and wouldn’t to do anything except injections. Dr. Hosalkar took the time to diagnosis me and was the first doctor that told me he could get me back into running! He took the time to explain everything to me in detail, he made sure I was well informed about my diagnosis and what needed to be done. I thought, “sign me up, let’s fix this”! I had hope for the first time in 3 years!
  
  Here I am, 6 weeks into recovery from hip preservation surgery and I am already feeling 100% better than pre-surgery! I can actually handle doing more now, and don’t wake up in pain every morning! It amazes me how much better I feel so soon into recovery! I’m so glad I found Dr. Hosalkar! He saved me from years of pain. I’m on the road to a quick recovery and plan to be running soon! Thank you, Dr. Hosalkar!

  Ankle Fracture – Patient Testimonial
  
  Dr Hosalkar got me back on my feet again. I am a 40 year-old and suffered a complex ankle fracture with risk factors including chronic smoking that made it a very challenging case for healing. Dr Hosalkar helped fix my ankle perfectly and additionally helped me with ultrasound based bone stimulation to allow my bones to heal well and get me back to full function. I cannot thank Dr Hosalkar enough for what he did to get me to heal and back to my life!!
  
  Hip Replacement Surgery
  
  I was referred to Dr. Holsakar by another orthopedic surgeon since my hip was in good enough condition to be treated rather than replaced. I had both a cam and pincer impingement, a torn and detached labrum and some damage to the cartilage. Dr. H spent a lot of time discussing the procedure and the prognosis for recovery. The procedure he recommended to me was the full open surgical dislocation and debridement surgery. He told me I would be back to being unrestricted in my activities in 10-12 weeks. Many told me that this was unrealistic and it would be months to a year before I could resume normal activities. By the way, I had my surgery two weeks before my 53rd birthday. Well, 11.5 weeks after my procedure I was skiing and with no problems associated with my repaired hip. Dr. H is a very talented doctor who believes in getting you back to doing what you love to do quickly is important. I would highly recommend him to anyone contemplating hip surgery.
