What is Hip Replacement?
Hip replacement, also known as Hip Arthroplasty , is a surgical procedure in which a damaged or worn-out hip joint is replaced with an artificial implant (prosthesis). This procedure helps relieve pain, improve mobility, and restore normal joint function, allowing patients to return to an active lifestyle.
Who Needs Hip Replacement?
Hip replacement may be recommended for individuals experiencing :
- Chronic hip pain that affects daily activities (walking, standing, sitting)
- Stiffness and reduced range of motion in the hip joint
- Hip joint damage due to osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or avascular necrosis
- Hip fractures or injuries that do not heal properly
- No relief from non-surgical treatments like medication and physical therapy
Types of Hip Replacement Surgery
1. Total Hip Replacement (THR) :
- The entire hip joint (ball and socket) is replaced with an artificial implant.
- Recommended for severe arthritis, hip fractures, or joint degeneration.
- Provides long-lasting pain relief and improved movement.
2. Partial Hip Replacement (Hemiarthroplasty) :
- Only the femoral head (ball of the hip joint) is replaced.
- Often performed for fractures in elderly patients with otherwise healthy hip sockets.
3. Revision Hip Replacement :
- Performed when a previous hip replacement implant wears out, loosens, or fails.
- Helps restore stability and function with a new prosthesis.
