About Hip Replacement

Hip replacement, or total hip arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure performed by orthopedic surgeons to replace a damaged or diseased hip joint with an artificial prosthesis. This procedure is primarily recommended for patients suffering from severe osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or traumatic injury that causes chronic pain and significantly limits mobility. During the surgery, the surgeon removes the damaged bone and cartilage from the hip socket (acetabulum) and the head of the femur, replacing them with durable metal, ceramic, or plastic components. Modern techniques, including minimally invasive approaches, aim to reduce tissue trauma, leading to less post-operative pain and a faster recovery. Hip replacement is a highly successful surgery that dramatically improves quality of life by restoring pain-free movement and function, allowing patients to return to daily activities and enjoy an active lifestyle.

Key Highlights

Significant and lasting relief from chronic hip pain.Restoration of mobility, range of motion, and function.Improved ability to perform daily activities and enjoy an active lifestyle.High success rate with modern, durable prosthetic materials.Potential for minimally invasive techniques for faster initial recovery.Correction of joint deformity and improved leg alignment./ul

Who is this surgery for?

Severe osteoarthritis (degenerative joint disease) causing pain unresponsive to medication.
Rheumatoid arthritis or other inflammatory arthritis damaging the hip joint.
Osteonecrosis (avascular necrosis) where bone tissue in the femoral head dies.
Hip fractures, especially in older adults (e.g., femoral neck fracture).
Congenital hip disorders or dysplasia that lead to early joint deterioration.
Persistent hip pain that severely limits walking, bending, or sleeping.
Failure of previous, less invasive surgical treatments.

How to prepare

Complete a thorough medical evaluation, including blood tests, ECG, and imaging (X-rays, MRI).
Discuss all current medications with your surgeon; you may need to stop certain blood thinners.
Begin pre-operative physical therapy to strengthen muscles around the hip.
Arrange for post-surgery support at home, including help with daily tasks.
Prepare your living space by removing tripping hazards and setting up a recovery area.
Follow fasting instructions (typically no food or drink after midnight before surgery).
Undergo screening for any active infections that need treatment prior to surgery.

Risks & possible complications

Infection at the surgical site or deep within the new joint.
Blood clots (deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism).
Dislocation of the new hip joint, especially in the early recovery period.
Leg length discrepancy, though surgeons take measures to minimize this.
Loosening or wear of the prosthetic components over many years.
Nerve or blood vessel damage near the surgical site.
Allergic reaction to the implant materials (rare).
Anesthesia-related risks.

Recovery & hospital stay

Hospital stay typically involves pain management, IV antibiotics, and beginning physical therapy.
Use of a walker or crutches initially, progressing to a cane as strength improves.
Strict adherence to hip precautions (avoiding bending past 90 degrees, crossing legs) for 6-12 weeks to prevent dislocation.
A structured physical therapy program is crucial to regain strength, flexibility, and gait.
Wound care instructions to keep the incision clean and dry until fully healed.
Gradual return to light activities; high-impact sports are usually not recommended.
Follow-up appointments with the surgeon to monitor healing and implant function.
Long-term, maintaining a healthy weight and staying active helps prolong the life of the implant.

Typical hospital stay: 3-5 days
Expected recovery time: 3-6 months for full functional recovery

PATIENT REVIEW

Had my gallbladder out at MGM....

Had my gallbladder out at MGM. Dr. Vinod was really clear about what to expect after. The first couple days were rough, I won't lie, but his team had a good plan for the pain that actually worked. Follow-up was simple, he just told me to take it easy and call if anything felt off. Felt normal again quicker than I thought.
