Total Hip Replacement Surgery

The hip is one of the body's largest weight-bearing joints. When it becomes diseased or injured, every step can send sharp, debilitating pain radiating through your groin, thigh, or lower back.

**Total Hip Replacement Surgery** is a highly successful orthopedic procedure that replaces the damaged ball-and-socket joint of the hip with a durable, artificial prosthesis. This surgery is renowned worldwide for its ability to dramatically relieve pain and restore a normal, active lifestyle.

At Prakash Hospital, our expert joint replacement surgeons utilize the latest minimally invasive techniques to ensure your new hip feels stable, natural, and strong.

Before the Surgery: You will have a thorough preoperative evaluation. We will use X-rays or MRI scans to precisely plan the sizing and positioning of your custom implants.

During the Procedure: Under spinal or general anesthesia, the surgeon removes the damaged femoral head (the ball) and the damaged cartilage from the acetabulum (the socket). The artificial socket is securely placed in the pelvis, and the artificial ball is attached to a stem inserted into your thigh bone. The procedure usually takes 1.5 to 2 hours.

After the Surgery: You will be carefully monitored. Thanks to modern surgical approaches that spare major muscles, many patients are able to stand and bear weight on their new hip on the very same day of surgery.
