Hip Replacement
Hip Replacement: Walk Again Without Pain
A total hip replacement replaces the worn joint with an implant to relieve pain and restore mobility, most often for advanced osteoarthritis.
Key information at a glance
What is Hip Replacement?
When the hip cartilage is destroyed, every step becomes painful and mobility drops. The prosthesis replaces the head of the femur and the socket in the pelvis with artificial parts that move smoothly without painful friction.
Procedure Process
The surgeon removes the damaged joint surfaces and then fixes the prosthesis components, sized to your anatomy. Rehabilitation starts the day after surgery.
When is Hip Replacement used?
It is indicated for osteoarthritis or hip damage (necrosis, after-effects of a fracture) causing significant pain and disability despite medical treatment. Please send your recent X-rays and medical history for assessment.

Frequently asked questions
How does the treatment work?
Anesthesia
Spinal or general anesthesia.
Duration
About 1.5 to 2 hours.
What happens after treatment?
Hospital stay of 3 to 5 nights, getting up from the next day with physiotherapy sessions. You walk with crutches for a few weeks. Blood thinners are prescribed. Flying home is usually possible after 10 to 14 days, with the surgeon's approval.
How long do results last?
Joint pain usually disappears quickly. Full recovery takes 2 to 3 months, and a modern prosthesis generally lasts 15 to 20 years or more.
