Hip Replacement Surgery Overview

Hip Replacement Surgery (Total Hip Replacement – THR) is a procedure in which a damaged or arthritic hip joint is replaced with an artificial implant. It is one of the most successful orthopaedic surgeries, offering long-lasting pain relief and improved mobility.

It is recommended for patients who have severe hip pain or stiffness that limits daily activities and has not improved with medications or physiotherapy.

Why Is Hip Replacement Done?

Doctors may recommend hip replacement when hip pain and stiffness interfere with daily activities, and non-surgical treatments no longer provide relief.

Common conditions include:

  • Osteoarthritis (age-related cartilage wear)

  • Avascular necrosis (AVN) – loss of blood supply to the hip bone

  • Rheumatoid arthritis

  • Post-traumatic arthritis after injuries

  • Hip fractures or congenital deformities

When to consider surgery

You may need hip replacement if you have:

  • Severe hip pain

  • Difficulty walking, standing, or climbing stairs

  • Stiffness limiting movement

  • Pain that continues even at rest

  • Partial Hip Replacement – only the ball replaced

  • Minimally Invasive / Robotic-Assisted – more precise, quicker recovery

Benefits

  • Major pain relief

  • Improved walking & mobility

  • Better joint stability

  • Faster return to daily activities

  • Long-lasting results

Recovery

  • Most patients start walking within 24 hours.

  • Physical therapy begins early to restore strength and movement.

  • Full recovery usually takes 6–12 weeks.

  • Modern robotic/minimally invasive methods may provide faster recovery.
