Invasive Hip Replacement Surgery By Our Experts
Hip replacement surgery can be performed as a total replacement or a hemi replacement.
During hip replacement, a surgeon removes the damaged sections of your hip joint and replaces them with parts usually constructed of metal, ceramic, and very hard plastic. This artificial joint (prosthesis) helps reduce pain and improve function. Also called total hip arthroplasty, hip replacement surgery might be an option for you if your hip pain interferes with daily activities and nonsurgical treatments haven’t helped or are no longer effective. Arthritis damage is the most common reason to need a hip replacement.
Types of Hip Replacement Surgeries
Minimally invasive knee replacement is performed through a shorter incision—typically 4 to 6 inches versus 8 to 10 inches for traditional knee replacement. A smaller incision allows for less tissue disturbance. There are various advantages of undergoing minimally invasive knee replacement surgery compared to traditional knee replacement surgery.

Recovery Tips after Hip Replacement Surgery
1. Follow your surgeon's instructions:
Your surgeon will provide you with detailed post-operative instructions on how to take care of your hip after surgery. Follow these instructions to the letter to ensure proper healing and recovery.
2. Physical Therapy:
Engage in regular physical therapy sessions as directed by your surgeon to regain strength and mobility in your hip. Your therapist will work with you to develop a rehabilitation program that suits you.
3. Walking and Light Exercise:
Start walking and doing light exercises as soon as your surgeon allows you to. This will help prevent blood clots, promote healing, and reduce the risk of complications.
4. Rest:
Get plenty of rest to allow your body to heal. Don't overdo it or try to rush your recovery.
5. Healthy Diet:
Eat a healthy, balanced diet to ensure proper nutrition and promote healing.
6. Pain Management:
Take pain medications as prescribed by your surgeon to manage your pain. Over-the-counter pain relievers may not be strong enough to manage post-operative pain.
7. Avoid Certain Positions:
Avoid sitting with your legs crossed and avoid bending your hip more than 90 degrees. These positions can put stress on your hip and slow down your recovery.
8. Avoid High-Impact Activities:
Avoid high-impact activities like running, jumping, or contact sports, as these can damage your new hip joint and slow down your recovery.
9. Use Assistive Devices:
Use crutches or a walker as directed by your surgeon to help take the weight off your new hip joint and prevent falls.
10. Follow-up Visits:
Attend all follow-up appointments with your surgeon to monitor your recovery and ensure that everything is healing properly.
