About Hip Replacement

What is Hip Replacement?

Hip Replacement, also known as hip arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure where the damaged parts of the hip joint are replaced with artificial implants. This surgery is designed to relieve pain, restore function, and improve the quality of life for patients with severe hip issues.

Why Consider Hip Replacement?

Hip Replacement is typically recommended for individuals who experience severe pain and disability due to hip conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or hip fractures. The goal is to relieve pain, improve joint function, and help patients return to their normal activities.

When is Hip Replacement Necessary?

You might need to consider Hip Replacement if you:

Experience severe hip pain that limits your everyday activities, such as walking, bending, and standing.
Have chronic hip inflammation and swelling that doesn't improve with rest or medications.
Have significant stiffness and decreased range of motion in the hip, making it difficult to perform daily tasks.
Experience no significant improvement in pain and function after trying other treatments like anti-inflammatory medications, cortisone injections, or physical therapy.
Have hip deformity or damage that has been diagnosed as severe and requires surgical intervention.

The Procedure

During Hip Replacement surgery, the damaged cartilage and bone are removed and replaced with prosthetic components. These components may be made of metal, plastic, or ceramic, and they mimic the natural movement of the hip joint. The surgery typically takes a few hours, and patients will be under anesthesia.

Recovery Time

Recovery from Hip Replacement surgery varies by individual but generally follows these milestones:

Hospital Stay: Most patients stay in the hospital for 3 to 5 days.
Initial Recovery: Walking with the aid of crutches or a walker starts within a day of surgery.
Rehabilitation: Physical therapy begins immediately after surgery to restore movement and strengthen the hip. Full recovery and return to normal activities typically take about 6 to 12 weeks.
Long-term Recovery: Complete recovery, including regaining strength, range of motion, and full activity levels, can take up to 6 months to a year.
