Total Hip Replacement Surgery
Total hip replacement surgery focuses on resurfacing the bones that form the hip joint to relieve pain and improve hip function. At Goyal Hospital, our expert surgeon, Dr. Aman Goyal, removes the damaged femoral head and replaces it with a prosthetic implant. This artificial ball-shaped head, crafted from high-quality prosthetic material, fits seamlessly into a rounded, cup-shaped prosthesis, which serves as the replacement socket for the pelvis.
When is Hip Replacement Needed?
Patients with hip injuries caused by fractures, arthritis, or other conditions often experience severe pain and stiffness, making daily activities like getting out of bed or putting on shoes difficult. If lifestyle adjustments, medications, and walking aids fail to improve the condition, hip replacement surgery may be recommended. This procedure is a safe and effective treatment designed to:
- Alleviate pain
- Restore mobility
- Increase range of motion
- Help patients resume normal activities
Types of Hip Replacement Surgery
Dr. Aman Goyal specializes in three main types of hip replacement procedures:
- Total Hip Replacement (Arthroplasty): Replacement of the entire hip joint with a prosthesis made of metal, ceramic, or plastic.
- Partial Hip Replacement: Replacement of only the damaged part of the hip joint.
- Hip Resurfacing: A conservative approach that reshapes and caps the joint surfaces with metal implants.
Understanding the Procedure
During the procedure, Dr. Aman Goyal will make incisions in the hip area, remove the damaged portions of the joint, and install the prosthetic implant. Prostheses can be cemented or cementless:
- Cemented Prostheses: Attached to the bone using surgical cement.
- Cementless Prostheses: Designed to bond naturally with the bone through biological growth.
The surgery typically takes about an hour, and most patients begin mobilizing the same day. Hospital stays usually last two to three days, after which patients return home to rest and recover.
Why Consider Hip Replacement Surgery?
Hip replacement is often recommended for individuals with:
- Severe osteoarthritis or other forms of arthritis, including rheumatoid or traumatic arthritis.
- Persistent pain and stiffness unresponsive to medications, physical therapy, or other treatments.
- Hip fractures resulting from injuries or activities.
Recovery times vary, but most patients see significant improvements within 1-6 months. Walking aids are often used initially, and physical therapy plays a crucial role in regaining strength and mobility. Dr. Aman Goyal provides personalized advice and support throughout the recovery journey.
