Hip pain can steadily steal comfort, mobility, and independence. Even the simplest activities of walking, sitting, and climbing stairs may become a source of pain. Hip replacement surgery offers lasting relief and a better quality of life for many. At Yatharth Hospital, advanced care is provided to the patients with clear guidance and strong support after surgery for a smooth recovery.

Introduction to Hip Replacement Surgery

Many hip problems gradually get worse over time. While medications and various forms of therapy may be quite helpful for a while, hip problems can lead to severe joint damage. Hip replacement is a very effective treatment option that can relieve pain and increase mobility. It allows patients to resume daily activities with greater ease and confidence.

What is hip replacement surgery?

It replaces the damaged hip joint with an artificial joint. Damaged bone and cartilage are taken out of the body. A smooth, strong implant takes their place. This new joint moves like a natural hip and reduces pain.
The procedure is sometimes referred to as hip joint replacement surgery or total hip replacement surgery, depending on the condition.

Who Needs Hip Replacement Surgery?

You may need hip replacement surgery if you have:

  • Severe hip pain that interferes with walking or activities of daily living
  • Pain persisting at rest
  • Hip stiffness that limits mobility
  • Arthritis, injury, or fracture that has caused damage to the joint
  • No relief with medications or physiotherapy

An orthopaedic physician will examine your hip and give a recommendation for the best course of treatment. See an orthopaedic specialist if hip pain is interfering with your daily activities.

Types of Hip Replacement Surgery

The doctor selects the type of surgery based on age, activity level, and joint damage.

Total Hip Replacement Surgery

The most common type, in which both the ball and socket of the hip joint are replaced.

Partial Hip Replacement

Only the damaged part of the hip is replaced. Often used in certain fractures.

Revision Hip Replacement

Done when the previous hip implant has to be repaired or replaced.
Your doctor will explain which option suits you best.

Overview of Procedure-Step by Step in Simple Words

Here is how hip replacement surgery usually happens:

  • You get safe anesthesia so you do not feel any pain.
  • The surgeon makes a small cut near the hip
  • Damaged bone and cartilage is removed
  • The artificial joint is carefully inserted.
  • The incision is then closed and dressed.

The surgery normally takes one to two hours. Most patients stand and walk with support within a day.

The cost of hip replacement surgery varies based on:

  • Type of implant used
  • Surgical Technique
  • The length of stay in the hospital
  • Patient's health status
