Total Hip Replacement (THR)

Expert Total Hip Replacement Care

Total Hip Replacement (THR) is an advanced surgical procedure performed to relieve severe hip pain and stiffness by replacing the damaged hip joint with an artificial implant.

Conditions That May Require Hip Replacement
  • Severe osteoarthritis (wear-and-tear arthritis)
  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Hip fractures in elderly patients
  • Avascular necrosis (loss of blood supply to the hip bone)
  • Severe hip deformities or congenital hip disorders
What Happens During THR Surgery?

During the procedure, the damaged hip joint is replaced with artificial components designed to restore smooth, pain-free movement. 

  • The artificial hip joint consists of:
  • A metal stem placed inside the thigh bone
  • A ball attached to the stem
  • A cup (socket) fixed into the pelvic bone
Recovery After Surgery
  • Patients usually begin standing and walking with support within a short time after surgery.
  • Most patients are discharged within 2–3 days.
  • Walking ability and mobility improve gradually over the following weeks.
How Long Does the Artificial Hip Last?

Modern hip implants generally last between 15–25 years, depending on the patient’s activity level, age, and overall health.
