What Is Hip Replacement Surgery?

Hip replacement surgery (total hip arthroplasty) involves removing the damaged ball-and-socket hip joint and replacing it with an artificial prosthesis made of metal alloys, high-grade ceramic, and medical-grade plastic. It is one of the most successful procedures in modern orthopaedics — dramatically relieving pain and restoring mobility.

SurgiKure performs total hip replacement (THR) and partial hip replacement (hemi-arthroplasty) using USFDA-approved implants by experienced orthopaedic surgeons. Most patients walk with support the day after surgery, with comprehensive physiotherapy and rehabilitation support for an optimal recovery.

Common Symptoms

Persistent hip or groin pain limiting daily activitiesPain even when resting or sleeping at nightStiffness in the hip joint — difficulty bending to wear shoesLimping or altered gait due to hip painGrinding or crunching sensation in the hipHip pain unresponsive to medications, injections, or physiotherapyLeg length discrepancy due to severe hip joint damage

Types & Grades

Grade 1 — Mild Arthritis

Minor cartilage wear. Managed with physiotherapy, anti-inflammatory medications, and joint injections (steroid or PRP).

Grade 2 — Moderate Arthritis

Partial cartilage loss with worsening pain. Joint injections and lifestyle changes. Hip resurfacing may be considered.

Grade 3 — Severe Arthritis

Significant cartilage loss with bone-on-bone contact in parts of the joint. Hip replacement is strongly recommended.

Grade 4 — End-Stage Arthritis

Complete cartilage loss, bone-on-bone contact throughout, deformity, and constant pain. Total hip replacement is the definitive and most effective treatment.

Hip Treatment Options

1

Total Hip Replacement (THR)

The damaged femoral head and acetabular socket are both replaced with artificial components. Patients begin walking with a physiotherapist within 24 hours of surgery. Hospital stay is 2-3 days. Modern implants are designed to last 20-25+ years.

2

Partial Hip Replacement (Hemi-arthroplasty)

Only the femoral head (ball) is replaced, preserving the natural socket. Used primarily for femoral neck fractures in elderly patients. Shorter procedure, faster initial recovery.

3

Hip Resurfacing

A bone-conserving alternative where the femoral head is reshaped and capped with a metal prosthesis rather than removed entirely. Suitable for younger, more active patients with good bone quality and density.

4

PRP & Steroid Injections

For early-stage hip arthritis. Corticosteroid or platelet-rich plasma injections can provide significant pain relief for 3-6 months, delaying the need for surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is hip replacement recommended?
Hip replacement is considered when hip pain significantly limits daily activities, fails to respond to conservative treatment for 3-6 months, and imaging shows significant joint damage.
How long does hip replacement last?
Modern hip implants last 20-25 years or more. Younger patients may eventually require a revision procedure.
When can I walk after hip replacement?
Most patients begin walking with a walker or crutches the day after surgery with physiotherapy support. Walking without support is typically achieved within 4-6 weeks.
Is hip replacement covered by insurance?
Yes. Total and partial hip replacement surgery is covered by most health insurance policies in India. SurgiKure handles all cashless claim coordination.
