Total Hip replacement

Total Hip Replacement (also called Hip Arthroplasty) is a surgical procedure in which the damaged or diseased parts of the hip joint are replaced with artificial implants. It is recommended when hip pain and stiffness make it difficult to walk, sit, or perform daily activities, and when conservative treatments such as medicines, injections, or physiotherapy no longer provide relief.

Conditions Treated with THR

• Severe Osteoarthritis of the hip
• Avascular Necrosis (AVN) of the hip joint
• Rheumatoid arthritis or inflammatory joint disease
• Post-traumatic arthritis (after fractures/injuries)
• Hip deformities or chronic pain unrelieved by other treatments

What the Procedure Involves

• Removal of the damaged bone and cartilage from the hip socket and femoral head.
• Replacement with durable artificial implants (metal, ceramic, or medical-grade plastic).
• The new joint restores smooth, pain-free movement.

Benefits of Total Hip Replacement

• Long-term relief from hip pain and stiffness
• Improved walking ability and mobility
• Restores independence in daily activities
• Corrects deformity and improves posture
• Allows return to normal lifestyle and light exercises

Recovery & Follow-Up

• Hospital Stay: Usually 3–5 days, depending on overall health.
• Walking: Patients typically start walking with support within 1–2 days.
• Rehabilitation: Physiotherapy is vital to strengthen hip muscles and improve flexibility.
• Healing Time: Most patients recover within 8–12 weeks, with continued progress over several months.
• Implant Life: Modern hip implants often last 15–20 years or more with proper care.
