Question 1

How do I know if I need a hip replacement?

Accepted Answer

You may need a hip replacement if you have persistent hip pain, stiffness or difficulty walking that doesn’t improve with medicines or physiotherapy. Severe arthritis, joint damage or reduced mobility affecting daily activities are strong indicators. A proper evaluation and X-ray confirm the need for surgery. Dr. Ankur Singh’s team conducts detailed assessments to help you understand whether hip replacement is the right choice for long-term relief.

Question 2

How long does recovery take?

Accepted Answer

Most patients start walking within 24-48 hours and experience significant improvement in 4-6 weeks. Full recovery usually takes 3-6 months depending on age, fitness and rehabilitation. Rehabilitation plans at Dr. Ankur Singh’s clinic are tailored to help patients regain mobility faster and more comfortably.

Question 3

What are the risks of hip replacement surgery?

Accepted Answer

Although hip replacement is considered very safe, possible risks include infection, blood clots, implant issues or dislocation. These complications are uncommon with modern surgical techniques. With Dr. Ankur Singh’s expertise and strict surgical protocols, risk levels are kept minimal to ensure a smooth recovery.

Question 4

Are there lifetime restrictions after hip replacement?

Accepted Answer

You can return to most normal activities without limitations but high-impact exercises like running, jumping or heavy lifting are not recommended. Low-impact activities such as walking, swimming and cycling are ideal. Patients at Dr. Ankur Singh’s clinic receive personalised advice on long-term joint protection.

Question 5

Will I need a walker or cane after surgery?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a walker or cane is typically used for the first few weeks to support balance and protect the new hip joint. Gradually, most patients transition to walking independently. At Dr. Ankur Singh’s facility, the team guides you through every stage of safe mobility training.

Question 6

Are the implants permanent?

Accepted Answer

Most modern hip implants last 15-20 years or longer with proper care. Longevity depends on activity level, bone quality, and implant type. Dr. Ankur Singh uses high-quality, durable implants designed to offer long-term performance.

Question 7

Can you have the same hip replaced twice?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if an implant wears out or loosens, a revision hip replacement can be done. Thanks to advanced materials, this is needed far less frequently today. If a revision is ever required, Dr. Ankur Singh provides expert evaluation and guidance for the safest outcome.

Question 8

Can you still have arthritis after hip replacement?

Accepted Answer

Arthritis doesn’t come back in the replaced hip because damaged joint surfaces are removed. However, other joints in the body may still develop arthritis. Regular follow-ups with Dr. Ankur Singh help manage overall joint health and detect any concerns early.
