Hip replacement surgery is considered one of the most successful operations in all of medicine. Since the early 1960s, improvements in surgical techniques and technology have tremendously increased the effectiveness of total hip replacement. Patients can go from being bedridden to walking freely without support within a few days of surgery.
The most typical cause of long-duration hip pain and functional disability is arthritis. Here are some other causes of hip pain that leads to hip replacement surgery:
Osteoarthritis
Age-related “wear and tear” kind of arthritis, which normally occurs in people aged 50 years and above.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
An autoimmune disease in which the synovial membrane becomes thickened and inflamed, leading to damage of the cartilage, which can cause pain and stiffness
Post-traumatic Arthritis
Following a serious hip injury or fracture, where the cartilage may become damaged
Osteonecrosis
Due to limitation in the blood supply to the femoral head, causing the surface of the bone to collapse and resulting in arthritis
Childhood Hip Disease
Infants and children with hip problems may develop arthritis later in life, as the hip may not grow normally
Surgery
How is Hip Replacement Surgery Performed?
In hip replacement surgery, the damaged cartilage and bone are shaved and replaced by prosthetic parts.
The deformed femoral head is taken out and replaced with an alloy metal stem that is placed into the middle of the shaft of the femur. This can be done either with or without “bone cement”.
A metal or ceramic ball is attached to the upper area of the stem. This ball restores the deformed femoral head that was removed.
The deformed cartilage of the socket (acetabulum) is reamed out and restored with a metal socket. The metal socket is held in place with bone cement or screws.
A ceramic or plastic spacer is inserted between the socket and the new ball, allowing for smooth gliding between the surfaces.

Expectations
What to Expect During Recovery?
The surgical procedure usually takes from 1 to 2 hours.
After surgery, you will be taken care of by a specialised nursing team in the recovery room for several hours while your recovery is monitored. You will then spend the next 3-4 days in the room where your further recovery is monitored by your doctor and physiotherapy team.
The success of your surgery will depend largely on how well you follow your physiotherapist’s and orthopaedic surgeon’s instructions regarding home care during the first few weeks after surgery.
