Total Hip Replacement
Total Hip Replacement (THR) is a surgical procedure in which a damaged or worn-out hip joint is replaced with an artificial implant. This procedure is commonly recommended for patients with severe arthritis, fractures, or other degenerative hip conditions that cause chronic pain and limit mobility. THR aims to relieve pain, restore hip function, improve walking ability, and enhance overall quality of life. Modern implants and surgical techniques allow for precise placement and faster recovery.
- THR is indicated for patients with severe osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or hip fractures.
- The damaged hip joint is removed and replaced with a metal, ceramic, or plastic prosthetic implant.
- Surgery restores proper hip alignment, stability, and range of motion.
- Minimally invasive techniques are available to reduce tissue damage and promote faster recovery.
- Post-operative physiotherapy is essential for regaining strength and mobility.
- Most patients experience significant pain relief and improved quality of life after surgery.
- Recovery typically involves gradual weight-bearing and walking exercises over several weeks.
- Long-term outcomes are excellent with modern implants, often lasting 15–20 years or more.
