When hip damage is no longer limited to one small area but has spread across the joint, a more conservative fix often isn't enough. Total Hip Replacement (THR) removes both the damaged ball and socket of the hip joint and replaces them with prosthetic components, restoring movement and relieving pain that medication and physiotherapy can no longer manage. As a Total Hip Replacement (THR) treatment doctor in Surat, Dr. Ankit Chaudhari at Ashirwad Hospital evaluates each patient's joint damage, bone quality, and lifestyle to plan the right implant and surgical approach.
Total Hip Replacement, also called Total Hip Arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure in which the damaged femoral head (the ball at the top of the thigh bone) and the acetabulum (the hip socket) are both removed and replaced with artificial components. This is different from partial hip replacement, which replaces only the femoral head while the natural socket is preserved. THR is used when damage affects the whole joint rather than just one side.
THR is typically recommended when hip damage is widespread rather than localized. Common causes include:
Gradual, joint-wide wear of the cartilage cushioning the hip.
An autoimmune condition that inflames and damages joint tissue throughout the hip.
Loss of blood supply to the femoral head, causing widespread bone collapse.
Particularly neck-of-femur fractures in older adults after a fall.
Joint-wide damage developing years after an old injury.
A joint that did not form correctly from birth, leading to early, widespread wear.
Of hip movement, gait, and pain patterns.
To assess joint space narrowing, bone quality, and overall joint alignment.
To evaluate soft tissue and confirm the extent of damage.
Planning the right implant type and surgical approach based on your bone quality, age, and activity level.
Surgery is never the first recommendation. Most patients are guided through conservative treatment first:
One of the key decisions in planning THR is the type of implant fixation used. Both approaches are well established, and the right choice depends on your individual bone quality and lifestyle:
Bone cement holds the prosthesis in place.
Uncemented THRProsthesis is designed for natural bone ingrowth over time.
Allows earlier full weight-bearing.
Uncemented THRWeight-bearing is typically progressed more gradually.
Often suited to older patients or softer bone quality.
Uncemented THROften suited to younger, more active patients with good bone quality.
Blood tests, imaging, and anesthesia assessment.
Typically spinal/epidural or general, based on your health and preference.
Incision and removal of the damaged femoral head and acetabular cartilage.
Placement of the prosthetic ball and socket, cemented or uncemented as planned.
Typical surgery duration is around 70-90 minutes for straightforward cases.
Usually lasts a few days, with early mobility checks.
Standing and taking first steps with support.
Walking short distances with a walker or cane, physiotherapy begins in earnest.
Increasing strength and range of motion, reduced reliance on walking aids for many patients.
Return to most daily activities and light recreational activity, with continued exercise to protect the new joint.
THR cost varies from patient to patient depending on individual clinical needs. The main factors include:
