Home >> Joint Replacement Surgery>> Total Hip Joint Replacement

Total Hip Joint Replacement involves replacing a hip joint that has been damaged or worn away by arthritis or injury with artificial hip parts or implants also called prosthesis. The prosthesis substitutes for the hip joint allowing in smooth, frictionless movement. The goal of total hip replacement surgery is to relieve pain and increase the mobility and function of a damaged hip joint.

Total hip joint replacement is the tested and proved operation in elderly patients over 70. THR is also the preferred treatment for femoral neck fracture in this age group. THR is advised as the golden standard for hip arthritis in patients older than 65 years, advanced hip destruction & altered anatomy of the hip.

The procedure is done through an incision made along the side of the hip. The upper end of the thighbone which is round in shape is cut and replaced with the implant's components. It may be stabilized with or without cement. The surface of the hip joint which has to receive the ball component (often damaged because of arthritis) is made even and smooth by the surgeon so that the new metal socket can be cemented properly. The new ball and socket of the joint are then joined.

The surgery usually takes two to four hours, which varies with each patient, depending upon the severity of the disease.
