Also known as total hip arthroplasty, this procedure replaces the worn-out hip joint both the ball and socket with artificial plastic, metal, or ceramic implants. It's the most commonly performed hip replacement.
Also known as hemiarthroplasty, partial hip replacement replaces only one side of the hip usually the femoral head (ball) rather than the whole joint. It is most often used for certain hip fractures where the socket remains healthy.
Revision hip replacement is performed for patients whose earlier implant has worn out, loosened, or failed and who need a further corrective procedure. It is more complex than a first-time replacement and requires specialised implants and planning.
If you often feel moderate to severe hip pain caused by rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, or post-traumatic arthritis, it may be time to consult a doctor. These conditions can make simple activities like climbing stairs, bending, or even walking very difficult. In some cases, the pain can become unbearable even while resting. To get the right treatment and long-lasting relief, it’s important to consult the Best Hip Replacement Surgeon in Ahmedabad.
Such type of severe pain does not get alleviated by non-surgical procedures like physical therapy, non-steroidal and anti-inflammatory drugs, and many others. Also, the joint degeneration process may lead the hip joint to become stiff and impact the hip’s range of motion during performing normal activities. People suffering from such conditions need to undergo hip replacement surgery.
In 90% of the cases, people undergoing hip replacement suffer from osteoarthritis.
Patients under the care of an experienced hip replacement surgeon in Ahmedabad can expect a high success rate, with modern hip implants commonly lasting 15 to 20 years or more with proper care.
During hip replacement, the surgeon makes an incision at the front or side of the hip to remove the damaged bone and cartilage, then rebuilds the joint with prosthetic components. A metal stem is placed into the hollow centre of the femur (thigh bone), topped with a metal or ceramic ball that forms the new “head” of the joint. The damaged socket surface is resurfaced with a metal cup, and a smooth plastic, ceramic, or metal spacer is fitted between the ball and socket to create an easy, gliding movement.
At PMG Hospital, every hip replacement (hip arthroplasty) is performed by an expert, reputable hip replacement surgeon in Ahmedabad, Dr. Hiren Patel. If another orthopedic surgeon has already suggested a hip replacement, Dr. Patel is an excellent choice for a trusted consultation and second opinion.
After surgery, most patients stay in hospital for around 2–3 days up to a week. Recovery then focuses on strengthening the muscles around the hip with guided exercises, and you’ll usually start walking with a walker or assistive device early on. Most patients recover enough for normal activities within 3 to 6 weeks and can drive again after about 6 weeks.
Because the hip is a simpler joint than the knee, recovery after hip replacement is often faster than knee replacement. Even in severe cases, most patients are fully recovered around 6 months after surgery.
