Total Hip Replacement

Total Hip Replacement

What is Total Hip Replacement?
Total Hip Replacement is a surgical procedure in which the damaged parts of the hip joint are replaced with artificial implants (prostheses). It is commonly performed for severe arthritis, fractures, or hip joint damage that limits daily activities.

Why It’s Done

  • Severe hip pain limiting walking, bending, or climbing stairs

  • Osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or avascular necrosis

  • Hip fractures that cannot be treated with other methods

  • Failure of previous hip surgeries

What Happens During Surgery

  • The damaged femoral head (ball) is removed and replaced with a metal or ceramic ball

  • The hip socket (acetabulum) is resurfaced and fitted with a plastic or ceramic liner

  • The new joint allows smooth, pain-free movement

Recovery

  • Most patients start walking within a day or two after surgery

  • Full recovery and return to daily activities typically takes 6–12 weeks

  • Physiotherapy is essential to restore strength and flexibility

  • Most patients experience significant pain relief and improved mobility
