Total Hip Replacement Surgery

What is Total Hip Replacement?

Total hip replacement (THR) is an advanced surgical procedure where the damaged hip joint is replaced with a prosthetic implant. This procedure is designed to eliminate pain and restore mobility for patients suffering from severe hip arthritis, fractures, or other degenerative conditions. The surgery involves replacing both the ball (femoral head) and socket (acetabulum) of the hip joint with durable artificial components.

Advanced Surgical Techniques

Dr. Abhishek Saxena specializes in minimally invasive hip replacement techniques, including anterior approach surgery and computer-navigated procedures. These modern approaches typically result in faster recovery, less post-operative pain, and improved implant positioning. We utilize the latest ceramic and highly cross-linked polyethylene bearings for maximum durability and reduced wear.

Common Conditions Treated

• Advanced osteoarthritis of the hip joint
• Femoral neck fractures and hip trauma
• Avascular necrosis of the hip
• Hip dysplasia and developmental conditions
• Failed previous hip surgeries requiring revision

Comprehensive Care Approach

Our hip replacement program includes:

• 3D pre-operative planning for precise implant sizing
• Advanced pain management protocols
• Specialized hip rehabilitation program
• Regular post-operative follow-up care
• Dedicated support team throughout recovery

Recovery and Outcomes

Modern hip replacements have excellent durability, often lasting 20-25 years or more. Most patients can resume light activities within 4-6 weeks and return to full activity by 3-4 months. Our success rates are particularly high, with over 95% of patients reporting significant improvement in pain and mobility following surgery.
