Hip pain, often caused by arthritis, injury, or wear and tear, can severely affect mobility and quality of life. When non-surgical treatments like physical therapy, medications, or injections no longer provide relief, hip replacement surgery becomes a viable option. This procedure, also known as hip arthroplasty, involves replacing the damaged or worn-out hip joint with a prosthesis (an artificial joint) made of metal alloys, ceramics, and high-grade plastics. Under the expertise of Dr. Adarsh Annapareddy, one of the leading hip replacement surgeons in Hyderabad, this surgery is performed with precision to restore hip function and alleviate pain.
During hip replacement surgery, the damaged cartilage and bone are removed and replaced with prosthetic components that replicate the movement and functionality of a natural hip joint.
Total hip replacement involves replacing both the ball and socket of the hip joint. The damaged head of the femur (thighbone) is replaced with a metal or ceramic ball attached to a metal stem, while the damaged cartilage of the hip socket (acetabulum) is replaced with a plastic or ceramic liner. This procedure restores mobility and significantly reduces pain.
Total hip replacement is recommended for individuals with severe hip osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, post-traumatic arthritis, or avascular necrosis (loss of blood supply to the bone). Patients with progressive hip pain, stiffness, or loss of mobility that interferes with daily activities such as walking, climbing stairs, or getting in and out of a chair may be ideal candidates.
Those who experience pain while resting, have limited hip movement, and whose non-surgical treatments (like pain medications, cortisone injections, and physical therapy) are ineffective can benefit from hip replacement surgery.
Deciding on hip replacement surgery is a collaborative process involving your orthopaedic surgeon, family, and family physician. Your orthopaedic surgeon will evaluate your overall health and hip joint condition to determine whether hip replacement is the best course of action.
There are no specific age or weight limitations for hip replacement surgery. Most patients who undergo the procedure are between 50 and 80 years old, but hip replacement can be successfully performed on younger adults as well as elderly patients, depending on the severity of the condition.

The prosthetic hip joint typically lasts 15 to 20 years or more, enabling patients to resume everyday activities and low-impact exercises like walking, swimming, and biking.
Patients often return to routine activities within 6 to 12 weeks post-surgery, depending on their health, adherence to physical therapy, and lifestyle.
