Who Needs Hip Replacement Surgery?
A hip replacement may be necessary if persistent hip pain and mobility issues disrupt daily routines and conservative treatments fail. Some common medical reasons include
Osteoarthritis
The most common cause, where cartilage wears down, leading to pain and stiffness
Rheumatoid Arthritis
An autoimmune condition that causes joint inflammation and damage
Hip Injuries & Trauma
Damage from falls, accidents, or trauma that affects mobility
Post Traumatic Arthritis
A condition where reduced blood supply causes bone tissue to die
Hip Deformities
Congenital or childhood hip abnormalities that lead to joint deterioration over time
Types of Hip Replacement Surgery
Total Hip Replacement (THR)
The entire hip joint is replaced with an artificial hip implant, making it one of the most common orthopaedic procedures
Partial Hip Replacement
Only the ball of the joint is replaced, often performed in elderly patients after a hip fracture
Hip Revision Surgery
A second hip replacement procedure to replace a worn-out, loose, or infected artificial joint
Hip Resurfacing
A bone-preserving alternative to total hip replacement, mainly for younger patients with strong bones
Minimally Invasive Hip Replacement
Uses smaller incisions to reduce pain and speed up recovery
Hip replacement surgery replaces damaged parts with high-quality metal, ceramic, or plastic implants, restoring smooth movement and significantly reducing pain. Most patients experience improved mobility, better quality of life, and long-lasting relief after surgery.
