Total Hip Replacement
Total Hip Replacement (THR) surgery is commonly performed to address progressive arthritis. THR is recommended when a patient experiences:
- Hip pain that disrupts sleep at night.
- Hip pain that restricts everyday activities.
- Persistent discomfort even after attempting other treatments.

What Is Hip Replacement?
Hip replacement is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of a worn or damaged hip joint and its replacement with an artificial joint, known as a prosthesis. This prosthesis typically consists of a metal, plastic, or ceramic ball and socket. Hip replacement alleviates pain and restores a patient’s ability to engage in daily activities.
In hip osteoarthritis, the smooth articular cartilage wears away and becomes frayed and rough.
Who Should Consider Hip Replacement?
Patients should contemplate hip replacement if they experience:
Arthritis that hampers daily activities like walking and bending.
Pain even when at rest.
Stiffness in the hip that limits movement or the ability to lift the leg.
If you are facing any of these issues, please consult your surgeon to learn about the benefits of hip replacement surgery.

Are There Alternatives to Hip Replacement?
Less invasive treatment options include medications, injections, and physical therapy. Depending on the nature of the joint problem, other types of surgery may be considered. Hip replacement is typically recommended after a thorough diagnosis of the joint issue.
