Understanding Hip Replacement Surgery

What is Hip Replacement Surgery?

Hip replacement surgery, also known as total hip arthroplasty, is a procedure that replaces a damaged hip joint with an artificial implant. This prosthetic joint allows smooth, pain-free movement, helping patients regain mobility and lead an active life.

How is Hip Replacement Surgery Performed?

1️⃣ Making the Incision: The surgeon makes a precise incision to access the hip joint.
2️⃣ Preparing the Hip Socket (Acetabulum): The damaged cartilage and bone are removed, and a metal socket is placed securely.
3️⃣ Fixing the Acetabular Component: The socket implant is inserted, sometimes using screws for additional stability.
4️⃣ Shaping the Femur Bone: The diseased femoral head is removed, and the femur is prepared to fit the new implant.
5️⃣ Inserting the Prosthesis: The artificial femoral component, made of metal or ceramic, is securely placed.
6️⃣ Repositioning the Joint: The surgeon carefully restores the hip’s natural alignment before closing the incision.

By following this structured approach, surgeons ensure optimal functionality and long-term durability of the new hip joint.

Who Needs Hip Replacement Surgery?

Individuals who experience chronic hip pain, stiffness, or reduced mobility may require hip replacement surgery. The most common conditions that necessitate this procedure include:

• Osteoarthritis: Age-related wear and tear that causes severe joint pain.
• Rheumatoid Arthritis: An autoimmune disorder that leads to joint inflammation and stiffness.
• Post-Traumatic Arthritis: A hip fracture or injury resulting in cartilage damage.
• Avascular Necrosis: Loss of blood supply to the femoral head, leading to bone collapse.
• Congenital Hip Disorders: Birth-related conditions that cause hip deformities.
• Bone Tumors: Abnormal growths that weaken the hip joint structure.

If non-surgical treatments fail to provide relief, hip replacement surgery becomes the best solution for restoring mobility.

Non-Surgical Treatment Options for Hip Pain

Before considering surgery, doctors may recommend conservative treatments, such as:

• Physical therapy – Exercises to strengthen the hip and improve flexibility.
• Pain relievers – NSAIDs and other medications to reduce inflammation.
• Steroid injections – Temporary relief from pain and swelling.
• Disease-modifying drugs – Used for autoimmune arthritis to slow disease progression.

However, if these treatments no longer provide relief, hip replacement surgery is the best long-term option.

Types of Hip Replacement Surgery

1. Total Hip Replacement (THR)

This is the most common procedure, where both the femoral head and hip socket are replaced with artificial components.

2. Hip Resurfacing

Instead of removing the femoral head, surgeons reshape and cap it with a metal covering, preserving more natural bone.

3. Hip Fusion (Arthrodesis)

This procedure involves permanently fusing the femur and pelvis together using screws and plates, eliminating all joint movement.

4. Hip Osteotomy

Surgeons realign hip bones to relieve arthritis symptoms and delay the need for a full hip replacement.

5. Resection Arthroplasty

In this rare approach, the femoral head is removed, and scar tissue naturally develops to support hip function.

Recovery After Hip Replacement Surgery

• Hospital Stay: 5 days for one hip replacement
• Post-Surgery Stay in India: 20 days for follow-ups and physiotherapy
• Weight-Bearing: Walking support needed for 4-6 weeks
• Full Recovery: Usually within 12-16 weeks
• Physiotherapy Sessions: Crucial for strengthening muscles and improving mobility

For bilateral hip replacement (both hips), recovery may take longer, requiring a 3-4 week stay in India.

Most patients return to light activities within 6-12 weeks and achieve full recovery in 3-4 months.

4. What are the risks of hip replacement?

While complications are rare, potential risks include infection, blood clots, and implant wear. Choosing an experienced surgeon minimizes these risks.
