Hip Replacement
Hip Replacement Surgery, also known as hip arthroplasty, is a procedure where a damaged hip joint is replaced with an artificial implant (prosthesis). It's commonly recommended for patients suffering from severe arthritis, fractures, or other degenerative hip diseases that limit mobility and cause chronic pain.
Types of Hip Replacement Surgery
Total Hip Replacement (THR):
Both the ball (femoral head) and socket (acetabulum) of the hip joint are replaced.
Most common procedure for arthritis-related damage.
Partial Hip Replacement:
Only the ball of the hip joint is replaced.
Often performed in elderly patients with hip fractures.
Hip Resurfacing:
The damaged bone is capped rather than replaced.
Suitable for younger, more active patients.
Benifits:
Relief from chronic hip pain
Improved mobility and quality of life
Long-term durability of the implant (15–20+ years)
Recovery & Rehabilitation
Hospital stay: 2–4 days (varies)
Initial recovery: 3–6 weeks with walking support
Full recovery: 3–6 months
Physical therapy is key for regaining strength and movement
Risks
