Hip Replacement Surgery
Hip replacement, or hip arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to replace a damaged hip joint with an artificial implant, restoring function and alleviating pain. This procedure is commonly performed on individuals suffering from severe arthritis, hip fractures, or degenerative joint diseases that significantly impact mobility and quality of life.
When non-surgical treatments such as physical therapy, pain management, and lifestyle modifications fail to provide relief, hip replacement becomes a viable and effective solution.There are different types of hip replacement surgeries, including total hip replacement, partial hip replacement, and hip resurfacing. Total hip replacement is the most common, involving the replacement of both the ball and socket components of the hip joint.
Symptoms Indicating the Need for Hip Replacement
- Chronic Hip Pain
- Stiffness & Reduced Mobility
- Pain Radiating to Other Areas
- Limping or Uneven Gait
- Difficulty with Daily Activities
- Grinding or Clicking Sensation
- Swelling & Inflammation
- Leg Length Discrepancy
- Lack of Relief from Conservative Treatments
- Hip Instability
Treatment We offer
Total Hip Replacement
Total hip replacement is the most common and effective treatment for severe hip arthritis or joint damage.
Partial Hip Replacement
Partial hip replacement is typically recommended for patients with hip fractures where only the femoral head is damaged.
Hip Resurfacing
Hip resurfacing is a bone-preserving alternative to total hip replacement. Instead of completely removing the femoral head, the surface is reshaped and capped with a metal implant.
Minimally Invasive Hip Replacement
Minimally invasive hip replacement involves smaller incisions, reduced tissue damage, and faster recovery times compared to traditional surgery.
Revision Hip Replacement Surgery
For patients who have previously undergone hip replacement but experience implant wear, loosening, infection, or joint instability,
Robotic-Assisted Hip Replacement
For enhanced precision, we offer robotic-assisted hip replacement surgery. This technology allows for a customized approach, ensuring perfect implant placement, improved joint alignment

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is a candidate for hip replacement surgery?
Candidates include individuals with severe hip pain, joint stiffness, and limited mobility due to arthritis, injury, or degeneration, especially when non-surgical treatments have not provided relief.
How long does it take to walk normally after a hip replacement?
Typically, many patients can start walking unaided within four to six weeks of surgery. However, it’s important to note that individual experiences may differ
What is the hardest part of hip replacement recovery?
The hardest part will probably be gaining physical capabilities you haven’t had in years. Many people are just happy to get their hip replaced and be able to do the things they used to do immediately before the replacement but now can do it without pain.
What are the 3 big don'ts for a hip replacement patient?
Don’t cross your legs at the knees for at least 6 to 8 weeks. Don’t bring your knee up higher than your hip. Don’t lean forward while sitting or as you sit down. Don’t try to pick up something on the floor while you are sitting.
What is the fastest way to recover from a hip replacement?
Gentle exercise is beneficial, such as short, gentle walks around your home and outside. Supervised physiotherapy, like rehabilitation programmes and hydrotherapy, can also help improve recovery in the weeks following surgery.
What are lifelong restrictions after hip replacement?
Avoiding high-impact activities like running, jumping, or lifting heavy weights can lessen the risk of damaging the replacement. If you do participate in these activities, you may weaken or loosen the replacement, which could require corrective surgery.
