Total Hip Replacement

Total Hip Replacement is a surgical procedure used to replace a damaged hip joint — both the ball and socket — with an artificial implant. It may be considered when severe hip pain, joint degeneration, stiffness, and reduced mobility begin to interfere with everyday activities.

At Asian Orthopaedic Hospital, a trusted Hip Replacement Hospital in Ahmedabad, Total Hip Replacement is planned according to the condition of the hip joint, severity of symptoms, mobility limitations, and individual patient requirements.

When Is Total Hip Replacement Needed?

The hip is an important weight-bearing joint that supports activities such as walking, climbing stairs, bending, and sitting. Damage or degeneration of the joint can progressively cause pain and restrict normal movement.

Common conditions associated with significant hip joint damage include:

  • Osteoarthritis
  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Post-traumatic arthritis
  • Severe joint degeneration
  • Progressive hip stiffness and reduced range of motion

Patients with significant hip damage may experience moderate to severe pain, difficulty walking, difficulty climbing stairs, and problems bending the hip. In some cases, pain may also become noticeable while resting.

When symptoms continue despite non-surgical treatments such as physical therapy or medication, Total Hip Replacement may be considered following a detailed orthopaedic evaluation.

Total Hip Replacement Surgery

Total Hip Replacement involves replacing the damaged hip joint with an artificial implant designed to restore the structure and function of the joint.

The procedure may be considered when hip joint degeneration has significantly affected mobility and everyday activities.

Damaged Joint Assessment

Before surgery, the hip is evaluated to understand the extent of joint damage, stiffness, pain, and mobility limitations.

Personalized Surgical Planning

The surgical approach and implant selection are planned according to the patient’s hip condition, level of joint damage, activity requirements, and overall treatment needs.

Replacement of the Damaged Joint

During surgery, the damaged portions of the hip joint are removed and replaced with appropriate artificial components.

Supporting Hip Function

The treatment is planned to support improved hip movement and help patients progressively return to everyday activities following recovery.

Total Hip Replacement Journey

Recovery following Total Hip Replacement involves early mobilization, strengthening exercises, physiotherapy, and follow-up care.

Early Mobilization

Patients may begin walking with a walker or another assistive device during the early recovery period, depending on their individual condition.

Muscle Strengthening

Exercises are used to strengthen the muscles around the hip and support progressive improvement in mobility.

Gradual Return to Activities

As recovery progresses, patients can gradually work toward returning to normal daily activities according to their doctor’s and rehabilitation team’s guidance.

Follow-Up & Recovery

Regular follow-up helps monitor recovery and address any concerns during the rehabilitation process.
