Surgery to replace a worn or damaged hip joint with an implant, relieving pain and restoring movement for everyday life.
Schedule your consultation with Dr. Mayank Chauhan today.
Hip replacement is a surgical procedure in which the damaged ball-and-socket of the hip joint is replaced with an artificial implant made of metal, ceramic, or high-grade polyethylene. It is usually recommended when chronic hip pain, stiffness, or limping no longer responds to medicines, physiotherapy, or lifestyle changes. The most common reasons are osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, avascular necrosis, and certain hip fractures, especially in older adults.
At Prakash Hospital, Noida, Dr. Mayank Chauhan begins with a detailed clinical examination and imaging to confirm whether surgery is genuinely needed and which implant suits your bone quality and activity level. Drawing on more than 15 years of experience and international fellowship training, he uses standard total hip replacement as well as tissue-sparing techniques where appropriate, with careful attention to implant positioning and leg-length balance. Each plan is tailored to the patient's age, weight, occupation, and how active they wish to stay after recovery.
Most patients are able to stand and take a few steps with support within a day or two of surgery, and pain from the worn joint typically settles soon after. A well-performed hip replacement can restore comfortable walking, sitting, and sleep, and modern implants are designed to last many years. Acting before the joint deteriorates further often makes surgery and rehabilitation smoother, which is why an early consultation is worthwhile if hip pain is limiting your daily life.
Hip replacement helps with a range of conditions that damage the hip joint and limit movement.
Age-related wear gradually thins the cartilage cushioning the hip joint. This causes deep groin or buttock pain, stiffness, and difficulty walking long distances.
An autoimmune condition in which the body attacks the joint lining, leading to inflammation and erosion. Over time it can destroy the hip joint and reduce its range of motion.
The blood supply to the femoral head is interrupted, causing the bone to weaken and collapse. It often affects younger adults and may follow steroid use, alcohol intake, or injury.
Fractures around the hip are common in older adults after a fall and may not heal with the natural joint intact. Replacement allows early movement and reduces complications from prolonged bed rest.
An old hip injury or fracture can damage the joint surface and lead to arthritis years later. The result is persistent pain and stiffness despite the original injury having healed.
Childhood hip problems such as dysplasia can leave the joint poorly shaped and prone to early wear. These patients often develop arthritis and pain in adulthood.
Both the ball (femoral head) and the socket are replaced with artificial components. This is the most common option for advanced arthritis and severe joint damage.
Only the ball portion of the joint is replaced while the natural socket is kept. It is often used for certain hip fractures in older patients.
The implant is fixed to the bone using a special surgical cement for immediate, secure hold. This approach often suits older patients or those with softer bone.
A specially coated implant allows the patient's own bone to grow onto its surface for fixation. It is commonly chosen for younger, more active patients with strong bone.
Both hips are replaced, either during the same operation or in two staged sessions. It is considered when arthritis significantly affects both sides.
An earlier hip implant that has worn, loosened, or become infected is removed and replaced. This is a more detailed procedure planned around each patient's specific situation.
Most patients begin standing and taking a few steps with a walker under guidance from the physiotherapy team.
You are usually discharged home, walking short distances with support and managing daily activities with care.
Walking distance and confidence improve, support is gradually reduced, and guided exercises strengthen the hip.
Many patients return to light routine work and comfortable daily movement, following precautions advised by Dr. Mayank Chauhan.
Strength and stamina continue to build, and most people resume their normal active lifestyle with regular follow-up.

Essential tips for joint care, injury prevention, and post-surgery recovery
Maintaining healthy joints requires regular low-impact exercise, proper nutrition, and weight management. Strengthening the muscles around your joints provides better support and reduces wear over time.
Warm up before physical activities, use proper form during exercise, and wear appropriate protective gear. Early attention to minor aches can prevent them from becoming serious orthopaedic conditions.
Follow your rehabilitation plan consistently, attend all follow-up appointments, and communicate any concerns with your doctor. Patience and commitment to physical therapy are key to optimal recovery outcomes.
