Hip Joint Replacement, also known as Total Hip Arthroplasty, is a highly effective surgical procedure designed to relieve pain, restore mobility, and improve quality of life in patients suffering from severe hip joint damage. The procedure involves replacing the damaged or worn-out hip joint with an artificial implant (prosthesis) that mimics the natural movement of a healthy hip.

Conditions That Require Hip Joint Replacement

Hip replacement may be advised for patients with:

• Osteoarthritis of the hip
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head
• Hip fractures in elderly patients
• Post-traumatic arthritis
• Congenital or developmental hip disorders
• Severe hip pain with restricted movement affecting daily life

Types of Hip Joint Replacement

Depending on patient age, activity level, and bone quality, different types of procedures are performed:

• Total Hip Replacement (THR) – Both ball and socket are replaced
• Partial Hip Replacement (Hemiarthroplasty) – Only the femoral head is replaced
• Cemented Hip Replacement – Implant fixed using bone cement
• Uncemented Hip Replacement – Implant fixed by bone growth
• Minimally Invasive Hip Replacement – Smaller incision, faster recovery

Benefits of Hip Joint Replacement

• Long-lasting pain relief
• Improved walking and joint movement
• Enhanced quality of life
• Correction of deformity
• High success rate with durable implants
