What is Hip Replacement?

Hip Replacement, also known as Total Hip Arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure in which a damaged hip joint is removed and replaced with an artificial joint made of metal, ceramic, or medical-grade plastic.
This procedure is recommended when hip pain and stiffness severely affect daily activities and do not improve with medications, physiotherapy, or lifestyle changes.
The main aim of Hip Replacement surgery is to reduce pain, improve mobility, and enhance quality of life.

Who Needs Hip Replacement?

You may need Hip Replacement surgery if you experience:
  • Persistent hip pain even while resting
  • Difficulty walking, sitting, or climbing stairs
  • Hip stiffness limiting range of motion
  • Pain that interferes with sleep
  • Hip joint deformity or shortening of leg
  • Poor response to medicines, injections, or physiotherapy

Hip Replacement may be required due to the following conditions:
  • Osteoarthritis of the hip
  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Avascular necrosis (loss of blood supply to hip bone)
