Total Hip Replacement

Total hip replacement relieves pain and improves joint function for individuals with severe hip arthritis or damage. Learn more about the procedure, benefits, and what to expect. 

Total Hip Replacement Overview

Total hip replacement is a surgical procedure designed to replace a damaged or worn-out hip joint with an artificial implant, restoring mobility and reducing pain. It is commonly recommended for individuals with severe arthritis, hip fractures, or degenerative joint disease that significantly impact daily activities. By replacing the joint with a prosthetic, total hip replacement can improve movement, stability, and overall quality of life. 

 

What is Total Hip Replacement?

Total hip replacement is a joint replacement procedure that removes damaged portions of the hip and replaces them with artificial components to restore movement.

  • Artificial hip joint – A metal or ceramic ball replaces the femoral head, while a durable socket replaces the hip joint. 
  • Minimally invasive & traditional options – Based on patient needs and surgeon recommendation. 
  • Improves mobility & function – Designed to enhance joint movement and reduce pain. 
     

Who should consider Total Hip Replacement?

Total hip replacement is recommended for individuals with chronic pain and mobility limitations due to hip joint damage.

  • Osteoarthritis & rheumatoid arthritis – Joint deterioration causing stiffness and pain. 
  • Hip fractures – Severe breaks that impact movement. 
  • Avascular necrosis – Loss of blood supply leading to bone death. 
  • Failed previous hip surgery – When prior procedures no longer provide relief. 
     

 

How effective is Total Hip Replacement Surgery?

Total hip replacement has a high success rate and is one of the most effective orthopedic procedures for restoring function and reducing pain.

  • Significant pain relief – Most patients experience a dramatic reduction in discomfort. 
  • Improved joint function – Enhances range of motion and stability. 
  • Long-lasting results – Modern implants last 15-25 years or longer. 
  • Return to daily activities – Most patients return home within hours of surgery and regain the ability to walk, climb stairs, and exercise quckly.

 

What happens during Total Hip Replacement Surgery?
