Regain mobility and eliminate hip pain with hip replacement surgery using state-of-the-art prosthetic implants.
What is Hip Replacement?
Hip replacement (total hip arthroplasty) is a surgical procedure to replace a damaged or diseased hip joint with an artificial prosthesis. The procedure involves replacing both the ball (femoral head) and socket (acetabulum) of the hip joint.
When is Hip Replacement Needed?
Hip replacement is recommended for severe hip arthritis, hip pain that limits daily activities, hip stiffness affecting mobility, hip fractures, or avascular necrosis. The procedure can dramatically improve quality of life and restore normal function.
The Procedure
Hip replacement is performed under general or spinal anesthesia. The surgeon removes the damaged bone and cartilage, then implants the prosthetic components. Modern techniques include minimally invasive approaches. The procedure typically takes 1-2 hours, with a hospital stay of 2-4 days.
