Hip Replacement

Hip Replacement Surgery

Hip replacement, also known as hip arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure to replace a damaged or worn-out hip joint with an artificial implant. This procedure is often recommended for individuals suffering from severe hip pain or stiffness due to arthritis, fractures, or other hip-related conditions that limit mobility and affect their quality of life.

Types of Hip Replacement Surgery

Total Hip Replacement (THR)

• Both the ball (femoral head) and the socket (acetabulum) of the hip joint are replaced with artificial components.

Partial Hip Replacement

• Only the damaged femoral head is replaced, commonly performed after a hip fracture.

Hip Resurfacing

• The femoral head is reshaped and capped with a metal covering, preserving more of the bone structure.

Benefits

• You experience severe hip pain that interferes with daily activities such as walking, bending, or climbing stairs.
• Non-surgical treatments (medication, physical therapy) have failed to relieve pain.
• You suffer from conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or hip fractures.
• The hip joint is stiff, limiting your range of motion.
• Pain persists even while resting.
