Understanding the procedure

What is Total Hip Replacement in Delhi?

Total Hip Replacement (hip arthroplasty) replaces the damaged ball‑and‑socket surfaces of the hip with medical‑grade components to relieve pain and restore motion. The acetabulum (socket) receives a cup and liner, and the femur (thigh bone) receives a stem and head. Bearing options include ceramic‑on‑polyethylene and ceramic‑on‑ceramic.

THR is recommended for advanced osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis (AVN), rheumatoid arthritis, childhood hip disease sequelae, or certain fractures when pain and stiffness limit daily life and non‑surgical care is no longer effective.

Eligibility

Who is a Good Candidate?

Severe hip pain and stiffness

Pain limits walking, standing, or sleep; difficulty wearing shoes or climbing stairs.

Advanced arthritis/AVN on imaging

Joint space loss, deformity, or femoral head collapse.

Non‑surgical care no longer helps

Medicines, injections, activity modification, and physiotherapy have not provided relief.

Ready for rehab

You can commit to post‑op exercises and safety precautions.

Patients seeking Total Hip Replacement in Delhi often benefit from a personalised plan that matches anatomy, activity level, and goals.

Outcomes

Benefits

  • Powerful pain relief and improved mobility
  • Corrected limb length and alignment (when needed)
  • Return to low‑impact activities: walking, cycling, swimming
  • High satisfaction; modern implants often last 15–20+ years
Safety

Risks & How We Reduce Them

  • Infection, blood clots (DVT/PE), dislocation, fracture, nerve injury
  • Leg length difference, stiffness, persistent pain, implant wear/loosening
  • Risk reduction: meticulous technique, antibiotic protocols, DVT prevention, precise component positioning, and structured rehab
Procedure steps

How Hip Replacement is Performed

  1. Anaesthesia & incision: Spinal/epidural or general anaesthesia. An approach (posterior or anterolateral) is chosen based on your case.
  2. Socket (acetabulum): The socket is prepared and a cup is placed—usually press‑fit—with a liner (polyethylene or ceramic).
  3. Femur: The femoral canal is prepared and a stem is inserted with a matching head; fixation may be cemented or cementless.
  4. Balance & stability: Trial components check leg length and soft‑tissue tension; final implants are placed.
  5. Closure & recovery: The incision is closed; pain control and early mobilisation begin the same day or next.

Implant & bearing choices

Ceramic heads with highly cross‑linked polyethylene liners are common; ceramic‑on‑ceramic in select cases. Choices are tailored to age, bone quality, and activity.

Navigation/Robotics

Computer guidance or robotic assistance may aid alignment and leg length checks in specific cases; not required for excellent outcomes.

Pain management

Multimodal regimen (nerve blocks, anti‑inflammatories, targeted medicines) reduces opioids and speeds recovery after Total Hip Replacement in Delhi.

What to expect

Recovery Timeline

  • Day 0–1: Stand and walk with assistance; begin hip precautions as advised.
  • Week 1–2: Home/outpatient physiotherapy; swelling control; many patients use a stick/cane.
  • Week 3–6: Strength and motion improve; return to desk work/light activity.
  • Month 3–6: Most resume low‑impact activities and feel the full benefits of surgery.

Timelines vary by health, bone quality, and adherence to therapy after Total Hip Replacement in Delhi.

Your questions answered

Frequently Asked Questions

Is THR right for me?
If hip pain limits everyday life despite non‑surgical care and X‑rays show advanced arthritis or AVN, Total Hip Replacement in Delhi may be appropriate after consultation.
How long does a hip replacement last?
Many modern hips function well 15–20+ years; longevity is influenced by activity level, weight, implant design, and bone quality.
Will I need hip precautions?
Precautions depend on the surgical approach and your stability. You’ll receive clear guidance on positions to avoid and when it’s safe to progress.
When can I drive?
Typically 2–6 weeks depending on leg strength, reflexes, and being off narcotic pain medicines. Always confirm with your surgeon.
Can I sit cross‑legged or squat after THR?
Some patients can resume modified daily activities with guidance; high flexion positions may increase dislocation risk—discuss your goals with your surgeon.
Ceramic vs. metal—what’s better?
Ceramic heads with highly cross‑linked polyethylene liners balance wear resistance and reliability for most patients; choices are individualised.
Is robotic hip replacement better?
Navigation/robotic tools can aid component positioning in select cases but are not required for excellent outcomes.
What are the main risks?
Infection, DVT/PE, dislocation, fracture, nerve injury, leg length difference, and implant wear/loosening. We follow protocols to minimise these risks.
