Paragraphs
Hip replacement surgery (hip arthroplasty) is a procedure where damaged or diseased parts of the hip joint are removed and replaced with artificial components called prostheses. This artificial joint mimics the function of a healthy hip, allowing patients to walk, move, and live without chronic pain.

FAQs
Question:
Answer:
Hip replacement is considered the definitive treatment for advanced avascular necrosis (AVN) of the hip. The procedure removes the damaged bone and replaces it with an artificial joint, effectively relieving pain and restoring mobility in most cases.
Question:
Answer:
Hip replacement surgery is widely regarded as a safe and highly successful procedure, especially when performed by experienced surgeons in modern hospitals. The risk of serious complications is low, with a 95–98% success rate in the first year after surgery and most patients experience significant pain relief and improved mobility. As with any major surgery, there are risks such as infection, blood clots, or implant issues, but these are uncommon and can be managed with proper care.
Remove
Question:
Answer:
After hip replacement, high-impact activities such as running, jumping, and contact sports should generally be avoided to protect the artificial joint. Deep squats, twisting movements, and exercises that put excessive strain on the hip are also discouraged. The rehabilitation team will provide a personalized exercise plan and guidance on safe activities.
Remove
Question:
Answer:
Total hip replacement surgery involves replacing both the ball (femoral head) and socket (acetabulum) of the hip joint with artificial components. This procedure is most commonly performed for severe arthritis, fractures, or avascular necrosis, and is designed to relieve pain and restore function.
Remove
Question:
Answer:
Hip replacement is recommended for severe hip pain, stiffness, or loss of movement that limits daily activities and does not improve with conservative treatments. Common causes include osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, avascular necrosis, hip fractures, and other degenerative joint diseases.
Remove
Question:
Answer:
Hip replacement surgery typically takes between 1 and 2 hours, depending on the complexity of the case and whether it is a primary or revision procedure.
Remove
Question:
Answer:
In a posterior hip replacement, the surgeon typically detaches and later reattaches the short external rotator muscles and the posterior capsule of the hip. The gluteus maximus muscle is split along its fibers, but not cut, to access the joint.
Remove
Question:
Answer:
Bilateral hip replacement, where both hips are replaced either during the same surgical session or in separate procedures, is less common than single hip replacement. It may be recommended for patients with severe disease in both hips and who are healthy enough to tolerate a longer surgery and rehabilitation.
Remove
Question:
Answer:
Most patients are able to walk with support within a day or two after surgery. Return to daily activities typically occurs within 6–12 weeks. Full recovery, including regaining strength and flexibility, may take up to a year, with continued improvement over time.
Remove
Question:
Answer:
The cost of hip replacement surgery varies widely based on the type of procedure, implant used, hospital facilities, and individual patient factors. A personalized estimate is provided after consultation, and most hospitals in Delhi assist with insurance and payment options.
Remove
Question:
Answer:
Symptoms of hip replacement dislocation include sudden, severe pain in the hip or groin, inability to move the leg, visible deformity, and sometimes a popping sensation. Immediate medical attention is required if dislocation is suspected.
Remove
Question:
Answer:
Yes, if a hip replacement wears out, becomes loose, or develops complications, a revision (second) hip replacement can be performed. Modern implants typically last 15–20 years or longer, but revision surgery may be needed in some cases.
Remove
Question:
Answer:
Hip replacement surgery can be performed under general anesthesia (where the patient is completely asleep) or regional anesthesia (such as spinal or epidural anesthesia, where the patient is awake but numb from the waist down). The choice depends on the patient’s health and preferences.
Remove
Question:
Answer:
Modern hip replacements last 15–20 years or longer for most patients, with 80–85% of implants still functioning well after 20 years.
Remove
Question:
Answer:
Hip replacement is performed to treat severe joint damage from osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, avascular necrosis, fractures, and other degenerative or traumatic conditions that cause pain and limit mobility.
Remove
Question:
Answer:
A bipolar hip replacement is a type of partial hip replacement in which the artificial femoral head has two articulating surfaces: one within the prosthesis itself and one with the natural socket. This design is often used for elderly patients with certain types of hip fractures, aiming to reduce wear and improve movement.
Remove
Question:
Answer:
Most patients walk with support within a day, return to daily activities in 6–12 weeks, and continue to improve for up to a year.
Remove
Question:
Answer:
Most health insurance policies in India cover hip replacement surgery, but coverage details should be confirmed with the hospital and insurer.
