Hip Replacement Surgery

Hip Replacement Surgery is a procedure in which a damaged or worn-out hip joint is replaced with an artificial implant, called a prosthesis, to relieve pain and improve mobility.

It is commonly performed in patients with severe arthritis, hip fractures, or joint degeneration. The surgery can be total (replacing both the ball and socket) or partial (replacing only the ball part). Modern techniques, including minimally invasive and robot-assisted methods, offer faster recovery and better outcomes.

We offer the following hip replacement surgeries:

  • Total Hip Replacement: This procedure involves replacing the damaged or arthritic parts of the hip joint with artificial components, including a metal ball attached to a stem that is inserted into the femur (thigh bone) and a metal socket that is implanted into the pelvic bone. Total hip replacement can provide significant pain relief and improve hip function for patients with severe hip arthritis or other hip conditions.
  • Minimally Invasive Hip Replacement: In this approach, the surgeon uses smaller incisions and specialized instruments to perform the hip replacement surgery, resulting in less tissue trauma, reduced post-operative pain, and faster recovery times compared to traditional open surgery. Minimally invasive hip replacement may be suitable for select patients and offers the advantage of a quicker return to normal activities.
  • What is hip replacement surgery?
    Hip replacement surgery, also known as total hip arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure in which the damaged or arthritic parts of the hip joint are replaced with artificial components. The goal of the surgery is to alleviate pain, improve hip function, and restore mobility.
  • Who is a candidate for hip replacement surgery?
    Hip replacement surgery may be recommended for individuals with severe hip pain and limited mobility due to conditions such as hip arthritis, hip fractures, avascular necrosis, or hip dysplasia that have not responded to conservative treatments such as medication, physical therapy, and lifestyle modifications. The decision to undergo surgery is made after a thorough evaluation by an orthopedic surgeon.
  • What are the different types of hip replacement surgery?
    There are several types of hip replacement surgery, including total hip replacement, hip resurfacing, and minimally invasive hip replacement. In total hip replacement, the damaged parts of the hip joint are replaced with artificial components, while hip resurfacing involves reshaping the existing bone and placing a metal cap over the femoral head. Minimally invasive hip replacement uses smaller incisions and specialized instruments to perform the surgery with less tissue trauma.
  • What can I expect during the recovery process after hip replacement surgery?
    The recovery process after hip replacement surgery varies depending on factors such as the type of surgery performed, the extent of the procedure, and individual factors such as age and overall health. Generally, patients can expect to spend some time in the hospital for monitoring and pain management before being discharged home. Physical therapy and rehabilitation are essential components of the recovery process and help patients regain strength, mobility, and function gradually.
  • What are the risks associated with hip replacement surgery?
    Like any surgical procedure, hip replacement surgery carries some risks, including infection, bleeding, blood clots, nerve injury, dislocation of the hip joint, leg length discrepancy, and complications related to anesthesia. However, the risk of complications is typically low, and most patients experience significant pain relief and improved hip function after surgery.
