What is Hip Replacement?

It is a surgical procedure in which the hip joint is replaced by a prosthetic implant. Hip replacement surgery can be performed as a total replacement or a hemi (half) replacement. The objectives of this surgery are to relieve pain, help the hip joint work better and improve walking and other movements.

Who Should Have Hip Replacement Surgery?

The most common reason for hip replacement is osteoarthritis in the hip joint. Your doctor might also suggest this surgery if you have:

  • Rheumatoid arthritis (a disease that causes joint pain, stiffness, and swelling)
  • Osteonecrosis (a disease that causes the bone in joints to die)
  • Injury of the hip joint
  • Bone tumors that break down the hip joint.

Your doctor will likely suggest other treatments first, including:

  • Walking aids, such as a cane
  • An exercise program
  • Physical therapy
  • Medications

Hip Replacement Types

Hemi Hip Replacement (Hemiarthroplasty)

A hemiarthroplasty is an operation that is used most commonly to treat a fractured hip. The operation is similar to a total hip replacement, but it involves only half of the hip. (Hemi means half, and arthroplasty means joint replacement.) The hemiarthroplasty replaces only the ball portion of the hip, not the socket portion.

Total Hip Replacement (THR)

A total hip replacement is a surgical procedure whereby the damaged cartilage and bone of the hip joint is surgically replaced with artificial materials. Total hip replacement (THR) is a surgical procedure that relieves pain from most kinds of hip arthritis improving the quality of life for the large majority of patients who undergo the operation. It is currently the most successful and reliable orthopedic operation with 97% of patients reporting improved outcome.
