Hip replacement surgery is considered when a patient’s hip joint is worn, causing significant pain and reduction in mobility
The damaged hip joint is replaced with an artificial implant.
Total hip replacement is considered one of the most successful orthopaedic interventions of its generation, with most people experiencing pain reduction and improvement in their range of movement.
Conditions that can cause hip damage include:
Osteoarthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis
Hip fracture
Septic arthritis
Hip Replacement Recovery Process
After undergoing hip replacement surgery, patients can expect discharge within one to two days. While immediate relief from hip joint pain is common post-surgery, patients may experience discomfort from the procedure itself, which diminishes gradually over the course of a few weeks. Continuous improvement is evident throughout the first year following the procedure, ensuring a seamless transition to improved mobility and an enhanced quality of life.
