Total Hip Replacement
Total Hip Replacement
What is Total Hip Replacement?
Total Hip Replacement (THR), also called hip arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure that replaces the damaged or worn-out parts of the hip joint with artificial components. This surgery is commonly recommended for patients with severe arthritis, hip fractures, or degenerative conditions that cause chronic pain and restricted mobility.
In a healthy hip, the ball (femoral head) moves smoothly inside the socket (acetabulum) with the help of cartilage. When this cartilage wears down due to arthritis or injury, the bones rub against each other, leading to pain and stiffness. THR restores normal joint function by replacing the damaged ball and socket with durable prostheses, allowing smooth, pain-free movement.
Who Needs a Total Hip Replacement?
You may be a candidate for THR if you:
Suffer from severe hip pain that interferes with daily activities such as walking, bending, or climbing stairs
Experience stiffness and reduced mobility in the hip joint
Have advanced osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or post-traumatic arthritis
Live with persistent pain even while resting or sleeping
Have hip fractures or avascular necrosis not responding to conservative treatment
At Padma Clinic & Ortho Center, our orthopedic surgeons evaluate each patient carefully with physical exams and imaging tests before recommending surgery.
Total Hip Replacement Procedure – Step by Step
Anesthesia – Surgery is performed under spinal or general anesthesia.
Incision – A small incision is made to access the hip joint.
Removal of Damaged Surfaces – The diseased femoral head and socket are carefully removed.
Implant Placement – The femoral head is replaced with a metal or ceramic ball, and the socket is fitted with an artificial cup.
Liner Insertion – A high-grade plastic, ceramic, or metal liner is placed for smooth movement.
Closure – The incision is closed with stitches, and the hip is bandaged.
The procedure generally takes 1–2 hours, and patients are encouraged to begin walking (with support) soon after surgery.
Benefits of Total Hip Replacement
Long-lasting pain relief
Improved mobility and flexibility
Restoration of normal hip function
Ability to return to daily activities and an active lifestyle
Implants designed to last 15–20 years or more
Post-Operative Care & Recovery
Early Mobilization: Walking with a walker or crutches usually starts within 24–48 hours.
Physiotherapy: Targeted exercises to restore hip strength and range of motion.
Activity Restrictions: Patients are advised to avoid certain positions initially to prevent dislocation.
Recovery Timeline: Most patients return to light activities in 6–8 weeks, with complete recovery in 3–6 months.
Risks and Complications
While THR is highly successful, possible risks include:
Infection
Blood clots
Hip dislocation
Nerve or blood vessel injury
Loosening or wear of the implant over time
At Padma Clinic & Ortho Center, our surgeons use advanced implants and minimally invasive surgical techniques to minimize risks and ensure long-term success.
