What is Hip Replacement Surgery?

This helps relieve chronic pain, restore normal movement, and significantly improve your quality of life.

Types of Hip Replacement Surgery

  • Total Hip Replacement (THR): Replaces the entire hip joint.

  • Cemented Hip Replacement: Ideal for weaker bones; uses surgical cement.

  • Uncemented Hip Replacement: Best for younger, active patients; allows natural bone bonding.

  • Hybrid Hip Replacement: Combines cemented and uncemented techniques for optimal results.

How long does the surgery and recovery process take?

The surgical procedure typically lasts about 60–90 minutes, with a hospital stay ranging from same-day discharge to 1–3 days, based on patient progress. Most patients begin walking within 24–48 hours. Functional recovery often occurs by 6 weeks, with improvement continuing up to 12 weeks.

What types of hip implants and techniques are available?

Implants can be ceramic, metal, or polyethylene-supported designs, inserted using cemented or uncemented fixation. Hybrid implants combine both techniques for optimal outcomes. Material and fixation methods depend on patient factors like age, activity level, and bone strength.

What causes hip pain and when should I consider hip replacement?

Hip pain often arises from arthritis, cartilage wear, injury, or congenital deformities causing the hip joint to deteriorate. Common symptoms include pain that radiates to the groin, difficulty using everyday furniture, or trouble getting dressed. When non-surgical treatments no longer help and mobility is significantly affected, hip replacement may be the best option.
