Hip Replacement
Hip replacement surgery is a procedure where damaged or diseased parts of the hip joint are removed and replaced with artificial components.
What is Hip Replacement?
Hip replacement surgery is a procedure where damaged or diseased parts of the hip joint are removed and replaced with artificial components (prosthetics). Dr. Mayank specializes in both total hip replacement and partial hip replacement procedures, using advanced surgical techniques to restore mobility and eliminate pain. The artificial hip joint consists of a metal stem, a ceramic or metal ball, and a plastic or ceramic socket that work together to replicate natural hip movement.
When is Hip Replacement Needed?
Hip replacement is recommended when conservative treatments have failed to provide relief for conditions such as:
Severe osteoarthritis causing daily pain and stiffness
Rheumatoid arthritis affecting hip joint function
Hip fractures from trauma or falls
Avascular necrosis (death of bone tissue)
Developmental hip disorders
Persistent hip pain that interferes with sleep and daily activities
Significant limitation in walking, climbing stairs, or getting up from chairs
Benefits and Recovery
Hip replacement surgery offers life-changing benefits including complete pain relief, restored mobility, and improved quality of life. Most patients experience dramatic improvement in their ability to walk, exercise, and perform daily activities. Dr. Mayank's patients typically begin walking within 24 hours post-surgery, with full recovery taking 3-6 months. The artificial hip joint can last 15-20 years or more, allowing patients to return to an active lifestyle with proper care and follow-up.
