What Is Hip Replacement Surgery?
When Every Step Feels Like a Burden
Hip pain can slowly take away your freedom — walking, sitting, or sleeping becomes painful.
Whether it’s arthritis, injury, or age-related wear, hip problems can deeply affect daily life.
Hip replacement (hip arthroplasty) is a surgical procedure that replaces the damaged bone and cartilage of the hip joint with artificial components (implants).
The new joint functions like a natural hip — smooth, stable, and pain-free.
Types of hip replacement include:
Total Hip Replacement (THR): Replaces both the femoral head (ball) and acetabulum (socket).
Partial Hip Replacement (Hemiarthroplasty): Only the ball part of the joint is replaced.
Robotic or Minimally Invasive Hip Replacement: Advanced precision surgery using smaller incisions and faster recovery.
“A healthy hip means more than mobility — it means independence and confidence in every step.”
— Dr. Prince Uchadiya

When Is Hip Replacement Recommended?
You may be a candidate for hip replacement surgery if:
Pain continues despite medication and physiotherapy
Hip stiffness limits walking or bending
You need support (stick or walker) to move
X-rays show severe cartilage wear or bone damage
Common conditions requiring hip replacement:
Osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis
Avascular necrosis (bone death due to poor blood flow)
Post-traumatic arthritis (after injury or fracture)
Congenital hip deformities
➡️ According to Mayo Clinic, hip replacement has over 90% long-term success rate, with patients regaining full mobility and reduced pain.
Symptoms That Suggest It’s Time for Surgery
Persistent hip or groin pain
Pain radiating to thigh or knee
Grinding or popping sensation
Difficulty climbing stairs or walking long distances
Limited flexibility or movement
Diagnosis at Dr. Prince Uchadiya Orthopaedic Joint Care Clinic
Dr. Prince Uchadiya follows a precise diagnostic process:
Clinical Examination: Tests hip range, gait, and flexibility.
X-rays: To check cartilage wear and joint alignment.
MRI/CT Scan: For detailed imaging of bone and soft tissues.
Blood Tests: To rule out infection or inflammatory causes.
Every patient receives a personalized treatment plan based on age, bone quality, and lifestyle.
