Types of Hip Replacement Surgery
- Total Hip Replacement (THR):
Replaces both the ball (femoral head) and socket (acetabulum) of the hip joint with artificial components. - Partial Hip Replacement:
Involves replacing only the ball portion of the joint. Commonly done in elderly patients with a hip fracture. - Minimally Invasive Hip Replacement:
Performed through smaller incisions, resulting in reduced muscle damage, less pain, and quicker recovery.
Procedure Overview
- The surgeon removes the damaged bone and cartilage from the hip joint.
- Artificial components made of metal, ceramic, or plastic are implanted to recreate a functional joint.
- The procedure typically takes 1 to 2 hours.
Hospital Stay & Recovery
- Hospital Duration: 3 to 5 days
- Total Recovery Time: 6 to 12 weeks for full recovery
Patients are encouraged to begin walking with assistance within a day after surgery. Physical therapy plays a crucial role in regaining mobility and strength.
