THR for OA hip

THR for OA hip

What is Osteoarthritis of the Hip?

Osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip is a degenerative condition where the cartilage in the hip joint gradually wears down, causing pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Many patients struggle with daily activities like walking, climbing stairs, or sitting comfortably. If non-surgical treatments such as medication and physiotherapy fail to provide relief, consulting a Total Hip Replacement Surgeon in Bannerghatta Road is the best step forward. An experienced Total Hip Replacement Surgeon in Bannerghatta Road can offer advanced surgical solutions to relieve pain, restore joint function, and help patients regain an active, pain-free lifestyle.

What is Total Hip Replacement (THR)?

Total Hip Replacement is a surgical procedure where the damaged surfaces of the hip joint are replaced with artificial components (prostheses). The femoral head (ball) is replaced with a metal or ceramic implant, and the damaged socket (acetabulum) is fitted with a smooth artificial cup. A medical-grade liner acts as a cushion to allow smooth, pain-free movement.

At Padma Clinic & Ortho Center, our orthopedic surgeons use advanced techniques to ensure precise implant placement, faster recovery, and long-term results.

Who Needs THR for Hip Osteoarthritis?

You may be a candidate for THR if you have:

  • Severe hip pain and stiffness that limits walking, sitting, or daily activities

  • Pain that persists even while resting or sleeping

  • Difficulty climbing stairs or bending

  • Advanced osteoarthritis confirmed by X-rays or MRI

  • Failure of conservative treatments such as medications, injections, or physiotherapy

The THR Procedure – Step by Step

  1. Anesthesia – Surgery is performed under spinal or general anesthesia.

  2. Incision – A small incision is made to access the hip joint.

  3. Removal of Damaged Surfaces – The worn-out femoral head and damaged socket are carefully removed.

  4. Implant Placement – Artificial ball-and-socket prostheses are inserted and secured.

  5. Liner Insertion – A high-grade plastic, ceramic, or metal liner is fitted to allow smooth movement.

  6. Closure – The incision is closed with stitches, and a sterile dressing is applied.

The surgery typically takes 1–2 hours, and patients are encouraged to begin walking (with support) within 24–48 hours.

Benefits of Total Hip Replacement for OA Hip

  • Long-term pain relief

  • Improved mobility and flexibility

  • Ability to walk, climb stairs, and perform activities without discomfort

  • Enhanced quality of life and independence

  • High success rate with implants lasting 15–20 years or more

Post-Operative Care & Recovery

Recovery is carefully guided by our orthopedic and rehabilitation team:

  • Early Mobilization: Patients usually begin walking with a walker or crutches within a day.

  • Physiotherapy: Strengthening and range-of-motion exercises start early to prevent stiffness.

  • Activity Restrictions: Patients should avoid bending beyond 90° or crossing legs initially.

  • Return to Activities: Most patients resume normal activities in 6–8 weeks, with full recovery in 3–6 months.

Risks and Complications

While THR is highly successful, possible risks include:

  • Infection

  • Blood clots

  • Dislocation of the new joint

  • Nerve or blood vessel injury
