Involves removing the damaged ball (femoral head) and socket (acetabulum) of the hip joint and replacing them with artificial components. The prosthetic ball is attached to the top of the thigh bone (femur), and the socket is placed into the hip bone (pelvis).
In general, Hip replacement is considered when pain and functional limitations significantly impact daily life and when non-surgical treatments like medications, physical therapy, or injections have not provided sufficient relief. It’s important to have a thorough discussion with an orthopedic specialist to evaluate the potential benefits and risks of the surgery based on your specific condition and overall health

A hip replacement X-ray before surgery usually shows joint space narrowing, bone damage, or severe arthritis. After surgery, the X-ray clearly shows the artificial hip joint (implant) properly aligned in place. Comparing before-and-after X-rays helps doctors and patients understand how the damaged joint has been restored.
Hip replacement cost in India generally ranges from ₹2,00,000 to ₹5,00,000, depending on the hospital, implant type, surgeon’s expertise, and city. Government and multi-specialty hospitals may offer more affordable packages, while premium implants and advanced techniques can increase the cost.
Hip replacement involves removing the damaged hip joint and replacing it with an artificial implant. Hip resurfacing preserves more of the natural bone and is usually recommended for younger, active patients. The choice depends on age, bone quality, activity level, and severity of joint damage.
Yes, hip replacement can be safely performed in patients with heart problems, provided there is proper pre-surgical evaluation. Cardiologists and anesthetists assess heart function and manage risks before surgery. With careful planning, many patients with cardiac conditions successfully undergo hip replacement.
Hip replacement surgery is performed under anesthesia, so pain during the procedure is not felt. Post-surgery pain is usually manageable with medications and physiotherapy. In early stages, hip replacement can sometimes be avoided through weight management, physiotherapy, injections, and lifestyle changes. However, in advanced arthritis, surgery may be the most effective long-term solution.
