What is Hip Replacement?

Hip replacement, also known as total hip arthroplasty (THR), is a surgical procedure in which a damaged or worn-out hip joint is replaced with an artificial joint (prosthesis). This surgery is typically performed to relieve severe pain and restore mobility caused by conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or hip fractures. During the procedure, both the hip socket and the femoral head (the ball at the top of the thigh bone) are replaced with prosthetic components made of materials like metal, plastic, or ceramic. The recovery process usually involves a short hospital stay followed by physical therapy to help regain strength, flexibility, and mobility. While there are risks associated with the surgery, such as infection or blood clots, hip replacement can significantly improve the patient’s quality of life by reducing pain and enhancing joint function.

Identifying the Signs

Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease that occurs when the protective cartilage cushioning the ends of bones wears down over time. It commonly affects the knees, hips, hands, and spine, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility

Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disorder where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the joints, causing inflammation, pain, and stiffness. Unlike osteoarthritis, which results from wear and tear, RA affects the lining of the joints, leading to swelling that can cause joint damage and deformities over time

Post-Traumatic Arthritis

Post-Traumatic Arthritis (PTA) is a form of arthritis that develops after a joint injury such as fractures, dislocations, or ligament tears. The damage to the joint can lead to cartilage breakdown, causing pain, swelling, and stiffness over time. It can occur months or even years after an injury

Avascular Necrosis

Avascular Necrosis (AVN), also known as osteonecrosis, is a condition where bone tissue dies due to a lack of blood supply. This can lead to bone collapse, joint pain, and loss of function. It commonly affects the hip joint, but can also occur in the shoulders, knees, and ankles

Hip Fractures

A hip fracture is a break in the upper part of the femur (thigh bone), usually near the hip joint. It is a serious injury, most common in older adults, especially those with osteoporosis or weakened bones. Hip fractures often require surgery and rehabilitation to restore mobility

Congenital Hip Dysplasia

Congenital Hip Dysplasia, or Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH), is a condition where the hip joint is improperly formed at birth, leading to instability or dislocation. It mainly affects newborns and infants but can remain undiagnosed until later in life

Types

Cemented Hip Replacement

- Utilizes bone cement to securely fix the prosthetic components to the bone.
- Typically recommended for older or less active patients

Cementless Hip Replacement

Relies on the body’s natural bone growth to secure the prosthetic components, which have a porous surface.

Often preferred for younger, more active patients

Hybrid Hip Replacement

Combines both cemented and cementless techniques.

Usually involves a cemented femoral component and a cementless acetabular component.

Anterior Approach Hip Replacement

A minimally invasive technique that accesses the hip joint from the front.

May allow for quicker recovery and less muscle damage.

Posterior Approach Hip Replacement

The most commonly used approach, accessing the hip joint from the back.

Provides good visibility and precise placement of the prosthetic components.

Causes

Osteoarthritis

A degenerative joint disease where the cartilage that cushions the hip joint wears away over time, leading to pain, stiffness, and decreased mobility.

Rheumatoid Arthritis

An autoimmune disorder where the immune system attacks the joint lining, causing inflammation and damage to the hip joint.

Post-Traumatic Arthritis

Arthritis that develops after a hip injury, such as a dislocation or fracture, causing joint degradation over time.

Avascular Necrosis:

A condition where the blood supply to the femoral head (the ball of the hip joint) is disrupted, leading to bone death and joint collapse.

Hip Fractures

Breaks or cracks in the hip bone, typically due to falls or accidents, that can severely damage the joint and require replacement surgery.

Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH)

A congenital condition where the hip joint doesn’t form properly, leading to joint instability and early wear and tear.
