Hip Replacement Surgery

Hip replacement surgery is often recommended for patients suffering from various conditions that affect the hip joint. Some of the most common conditions treated with hip replacement surgery include:
Osteoarthritis is the most common cause of hip pain and is characterized by the wear and tear of cartilage in the hip joint. As the cartilage deteriorates, the bones begin to rub together, causing pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion.
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition that causes inflammation in the joints, including the hip. Over time, the inflammation can damage the joint, leading to severe pain and mobility issues.
A hip fracture, especially in older adults, can severely affect the hip joint. If the fracture is complex and involves significant joint damage, hip replacement surgery may be necessary to restore function and reduce pain.
Avascular necrosis occurs when the blood supply to the ball of the hip joint is disrupted, causing the bone to collapse. This condition can lead to joint degeneration and severe pain, often requiring hip replacement surgery.
Hip dysplasia is a condition where the hip joint does not form properly, leading to instability and wear on the cartilage over time. In severe cases, hip replacement surgery may be needed to relieve pain and restore mobility.

Hip replacement surgery offers a range of benefits, improving the quality of life for those who suffer from hip joint pain and dysfunction. Some of the key benefits include:
The primary benefit of hip replacement surgery is significant pain relief. Most patients experience a dramatic reduction in hip pain, which allows them to perform daily activities such as walking, sitting, and standing with ease.
Hip replacement surgery improves range of motion and joint function, enabling patients to move more freely and return to their regular activities, including sports and exercise.
With reduced pain and increased mobility, patients can regain their independence and engage in activities they may have avoided due to hip pain, such as walking, gardening, and climbing stairs.
Hip replacement surgery offers long-term relief, with most artificial hip joints lasting 15-20 years or more, depending on the patient’s age, activity level, and the type of prosthesis used.
In many cases, Dr. Ankur Singh performs minimally invasive hip replacement surgeries, which result in smaller incisions, less muscle disruption, and a quicker recovery compared to traditional open surgery.

There are two main types of hip replacement surgery: total hip replacement (THR) and partial hip replacement. The choice of procedure depends on the extent of the damage to the hip joint.
In a total hip replacement, both the femoral head (ball) and the acetabulum (socket) are replaced with artificial components. This is the most common type of hip replacement and is typically recommended for patients with extensive joint damage.
In partial hip replacement surgery, only the femoral head (the ball of the joint) is replaced, while the socket remains intact. This procedure is usually recommended for patients with a hip fracture or those who do not have significant damage to the socket.

Before your hip replacement surgery, Dr. Singh will perform a thorough evaluation, including physical exams, imaging (X-rays or MRI), and lab tests to assess the condition of your hip and determine the best surgical approach.Patients will also receive pre-operative instructions, which may include fasting before surgery and arranging transportation home after the procedure.
Hip replacement surgery typically takes 1-2 hours, depending on the complexity of the procedure. The patient is placed under general anesthesia or regional anesthesia to ensure they are comfortable and pain-free throughout the procedure.The surgeon will make an incision to access the hip joint and remove the damaged parts of the joint. The artificial hip components (prosthesis) will then be implanted and securely fixed in place.
After the surgery, patients will be closely monitored in the recovery room before being transferred to their hospital room. Most patients stay in the hospital for 1-2 days for observation and pain management.During recovery, patients will begin a physical therapy program to restore movement, strength, and flexibility in the hip joint. Rehabilitation is a key part of the recovery process, and Dr. Singh will work with you to ensure the best possible outcome.

The recovery time for hip replacement surgery varies, but most patients can resume light activities within 4-6 weeks. Full recovery typically takes 6-12 months, depending on individual factors such as age, health, and adherence to rehabilitation.
While some discomfort is expected after the surgery, minimally invasive techniques reduce pain compared to traditional open surgery. Dr. Singh uses advanced pain management techniques to ensure your comfort during the recovery process.
Most artificial hips last 15-20 years or longer, depending on factors such as the patient’s age, activity level, and the type of prosthesis used.
After full recovery, many patients are able to return to low-impact activities such as walking, swimming, and cycling. High-impact activities like running may need to be avoided, depending on your individual case and recovery.
