Total Hip Replacement (THR)

Total Hip Replacement (THR)

What Is Total Hip Replacement?

Total Hip Replacement (THR) is a surgical procedure used to relieve persistent hip pain and improve mobility when the hip joint has been severely damaged. During the procedure, the damaged parts of the hip joint are replaced with artificial components to restore joint function and improve movement.

When Is Total Hip Replacement Recommended?

Total Hip Replacement may be recommended when hip pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility begin to interfere with everyday activities and do not improve adequately with non-surgical treatments.

  • Severe hip osteoarthritis
  • Persistent hip pain and stiffness
  • Difficulty walking or performing daily activities
  • Advanced damage or degeneration of the hip joint
  • Hip deformity affecting movement
  • Certain hip fractures or serious joint injuries
  • Limited improvement with medicines or physiotherapy

Benefits of Total Hip Replacement

Total Hip Replacement can help reduce chronic hip pain and improve mobility, making it easier to perform everyday activities and maintain a better quality of life.

  • Relief from persistent hip pain

How Is Total Hip Replacement Performed?

Before surgery, the hip joint is carefully evaluated through a physical examination and appropriate imaging. During the procedure, the damaged ball and socket portions of the hip are removed and replaced with artificial components. The new joint is positioned carefully to support stability and smooth movement.

Recovery After Total Hip Replacement

Recovery after Total Hip Replacement varies from patient to patient. Early movement, appropriate exercises, and physiotherapy are important for regaining strength, flexibility, and mobility. Your orthopaedic surgeon will provide personalized instructions based on your condition and recovery.

  • Begin movement and exercises as advised by your surgeon
