Hip replacement surgery is a common solution for severe hip joint pain, typically caused by osteoarthritis, that doesn’t respond to other treatments. Hip replacement involves replacing the damaged hip joint with an artificial implant, providing pain relief and restoring mobility.

​

Advanced osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and avascular necrosis, which deteriorates the hip joint, often necessitate hip replacement. Persistent groin or thigh pain, difficulty walking, and significant movement restrictions are key indicators for hip replacement consideration. You should consider hip replacement when pain persists despite non-surgical treatments and significantly limits daily activities.

The procedure includes removing damaged joint portions and inserting prosthetic parts. Recovery typically requires a few weeks of monitored rehabilitation. After surgery, physical therapy helps improve strength and flexibility. Walking aids may be necessary initially, but most patients regain independence over time.
