What is Hip Replacement Surgery?
Hip Replacement is a surgical procedure in which damaged parts of the hip joint are removed and replaced with artificial components.
The hip is a ball-and-socket joint. During a total hip replacement, the damaged femoral head and affected socket surface are replaced with suitable implant components. The aim is to reduce pain and restore smoother joint movement.
The exact surgical technique and implant choice depend on factors such as joint damage, bone quality, age, activity level and overall health.
- Removes severely damaged joint surfaces.
- Replaces the affected joint with artificial components.
- Helps reduce persistent hip pain.
- Supports improved joint movement.
- Treatment is planned according to individual patient needs.
Is Hip Replacement Right for You?
Not every hip condition requires joint replacement. Surgery may be considered when significant joint damage causes persistent symptoms and other treatment approaches no longer provide adequate relief.
01
Advanced Hip Arthritis
Severe joint wear causes persistent pain and stiffness.
02
Persistent Hip Pain
Pain continues despite appropriate treatment.
03
Restricted Movement
Hip stiffness makes movements difficult.
04
Hip Joint Damage
Significant damage in hip area.
05
Hip Fracture
Certain severe fractures need joint replacement.
06
Reduced Daily Mobility
Hip problems interfere with everyday movement.
When Should You Consult an Orthopaedic Expert?
Persistent hip pain should not always be considered a normal part of ageing. Difficulty walking, reduced movement or pain that continues despite treatment may indicate an underlying joint problem requiring medical evaluation.

Hip Replacement surgery types
Surgery Variations That Depends On Age, Joint Damage & Others
01
Total Hip Replacement
The most popular operation is a total hip replacement where artificial implants are used to replace the hip joint’s socket (acetabulum) and ball (femoral head).
02
Partial Hip Replacement
Within this process, only the femoral head is replaced in a partial hip replacement, leaving the natural socket intact and for several forms of hip fractures, particularly in elderly persons, this treatment is frequently carried out.
03
Minimally Invasive Hip Replacement
Compared to regular surgery, minimally invasive hip replacement requires fewer surgical incisions that reduces tissue damage, decrease surgery-related pain & others.
04
Hip Revision Surgery
When a prior hip replacement fails because of implant wear, loosening, infection, or dislocation, hip revision surgery is carried out.
