Hip Replacement – Regain Mobility and Live Pain-Free

Hip Replacement Surgery, also called hip arthroplasty, is an advanced orthopedic procedure where a damaged or arthritic hip joint is replaced with a durable artificial implant (prosthesis). This surgery is recommended when chronic hip pain, stiffness, or limited function no longer improve with non-surgical treatments like medication, physiotherapy, or lifestyle modifications. At Vedant Hospital, Gota, Dr. Amish Shah offers expert hip replacement solutions for patients suffering from conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or hip joint injuries.

Benefits of Hip Replacement Surgery

• Pain Relief – Effectively reduces or eliminates persistent hip pain.
• Improved Mobility – Restores hip joint function and walking ability.
• Corrects Deformity – Enhances hip alignment and posture.
• Enhanced Quality of Life – Allows return to daily activities with greater independence.

Patients typically remain hospitalized for 3 to 4 days post-surgery. With guided physical therapy, muscle strength and joint flexibility are regained. A well-executed hip replacement can last 15 to 20 years or longer, depending on lifestyle and implant care.

When is Hip Replacement Recommended?

• Severe hip pain or stiffness – Especially while walking, climbing stairs, or resting.
• Advanced joint damage – Imaging such as X-rays or MRI reveal significant cartilage loss or deformity.
• Reduced daily function – Difficulty with routine tasks such as sitting, standing, or dressing.
• Unsuccessful conservative treatments – When medications, injections, or therapy fail to relieve symptoms.
