Who Is a Suitable Candidate for Hip Replacement Surgery?

Determining eligibility for hip replacement surgery depends on several factors, including:

  • Persistent Hip Pain: Individuals who experience pain while walking, standing, or even while resting may benefit from surgery.
  • Joint Damage Seen on Imaging: X-rays or MRIs showing moderate to severe damage to the hip joint can indicate the need for a replacement.
  • Reduced Quality of Life: If pain or limited mobility prevents participation in routine activities like climbing stairs, exercising, or sleeping comfortably, surgery may be the next step.
  • Lack of Improvement with Conservative Treatment: If physical therapy, medications, and assistive devices fail to provide relief, surgical intervention may be necessary.

    • How Is Hip Replacement Surgery Performed?

    The procedure is typically done in the following steps:


  • Anaesthesia:Patients receive either general anaesthesia (to put them to sleep) or regional anaesthesia (spinal or epidural) to numb the lower body.
  • Surgical Incision: Surgical Incision: The surgeon makes an incision—usually on the side or back of the hip—to access the joint.
  • Removal of Damaged Joint: The damaged femoral head (the "ball" of the hip) and any deteriorated cartilage are removed.
  • Implantation of Prosthetic Components:The surgeon inserts a new socket into the pelvis and a metal or ceramic ball into the femur. These parts are secured in place and designed to mimic the function of the natural hip.
  • Closure: The incision is stitched or stapled shut, and a drain may be inserted to manage fluid buildup.
  • Recovery: After the procedure, patients are moved to recovery and later begin physical therapy to regain mobility and strength.

    • The surgery usually takes 1 to 2 hours, and patients are encouraged to begin movement and walking with assistance as soon as possible to support healing.

    FAQ About Hip Replacement Surgery

    How long does it take to recover from hip replacement surgery?

    Most patients resume normal daily activities within 6 to 12 weeks, though full recovery can take up to 6 months depending on the individual.

    Will I be able to walk normally again after surgery?

    Yes, most patients regain the ability to walk without pain and with improved joint function, especially with the help of post-operative physiotherapy.

    Is hip replacement surgery painful?

    You won’t feel pain during surgery due to anaesthesia. Post-operative pain is managed with medications and usually subsides as healing progresses.

    How long does a hip replacement last?

    Modern hip implants can last 15 to 25 years, depending on lifestyle, activity level, and implant materials used.

    Can I resume sports or high-impact activities after hip replacement?

    Low-impact activities like swimming and cycling are encouraged, but high-impact sports should be avoided unless cleared by your surgeon.
