Hip Replacement

What is Hip Replacement?

Hip replacement is a surgical procedure in which a damaged or worn-out hip joint is replaced with an artificial implant to restore smooth movement and reduce pain. This treatment is commonly recommended for patients suffering from severe arthritis, fractures, or joint degeneration when other treatments no longer provide relief. The procedure helps improve mobility, stability, and overall quality of life, allowing patients to return to daily activities with greater comfort and confidence.

Hip Replacement Procedure

The doctor evaluates the hip joint through physical examination, X-rays, and other imaging tests.

During the surgery, the damaged parts of the hip joint are carefully removed and replaced with a durable artificial implant to restore smooth movement.

  • Removal of damaged hip joint surfaces

  • Placement of artificial hip implant

  • Alignment for smooth joint movement

After surgery, guided physiotherapy and proper care help strengthen muscles, improve flexibility, and support a safe return to daily activities.

  • Early movement and assisted walking

  • Physiotherapy to restore strength

  • Gradual return to normal activities

Recovery After Hip Replacement

Most patients are able to stand and begin walking with support within a few days after the procedure. Physical therapy and guided exercises play a key role in strengthening the muscles around the hip joint and improving flexibility and balance.
