Hip Replacement Surgery: Restore Comfort and Mobility

A hip replacement is designed to mimic natural movement, allowing you to walk and perform daily activities with ease and comfort.


When is Hip Replacement Recommended?

This procedure is ideal for individuals who have exhausted conservative treatments (medication, physical therapy) and continue to experience:

  • Severe Hip Pain: Pain that interferes with sleep and daily activities.

  • Limited Mobility: Difficulty walking or getting up from a seated position.

  • Joint Stiffness: Stiffness that restricts everyday movements.


How is the Surgery Performed?

  1. Anesthesia: The procedure is performed under general or regional anesthesia, depending on the patient's individual needs.

  2. Incision and Preparation: The surgeon makes an incision on the side or front of the hip to access the damaged joint.

  3. Bone Removal: The damaged parts of the hip, including the head of the femur and worn cartilage from the joint socket, are removed.

  4. Prosthesis Placement: The new prosthesis is inserted, consisting of a metal or ceramic ball that fits into a specially designed socket placed in the joint.

  5. Verification and Adjustment: The alignment and function of the prosthesis are checked to ensure smooth movement.

  6. Closure: The incision is closed with sutures and covered with a sterile dressing to promote healing.


Benefits of Hip Replacement Surgery
