Total Hip Replacement Surgery

Total Hip Replacement Surgery or Hip Arthroplasty is a transformative procedure designed to alleviate chronic hip pain, restore mobility, and improve overall quality of life for those suffering from conditions like arthritis or injury. During this surgery, the damaged joint surfaces are meticulously removed and replaced with artificial components made of metal and plastic. This new, engineered joint mimics the natural anatomy of the hip, allowing for fluid movement and enhanced stability.

Who Needs a Hip Replacement?

When considering Total Hip Replacement Surgery in Delhi, India, it’s essential to understand that this procedure is not just for the elderly or those with severe injuries. Many individuals might benefit from hip replacement due to conditions such as osteoarthritis, which can affect younger populations and lead to chronic pain and reduced mobility. Active individuals in their 40s and 50s often find themselves sidelined by persistent hip discomfort that conventional treatments such as physical therapy or medications fail to alleviate.

Moreover, people with certain genetic predispositions or developmental issues like hip dysplasia may also require intervention sooner than anticipated. The decision isn’t purely based on age; it’s about quality of life and the ability to engage in daily activities without pain. As medical advancements continue, more candidates are being identified who can regain their active lifestyles through timely surgical intervention. Ultimately, anyone feeling trapped by their hips should consult a specialist they could be just one surgery away from rediscovering their freedom of movement.

Hip Arthroplasty Procedure

• The surgeon makes an incision, either on the side or back of the hip, to access the joint.
• The muscles and tissues surrounding the hip joint are carefully moved aside to expose the damaged area.  
• The damaged cartilage and bone from the femur (thighbone) and pelvis are removed to create a smooth surface for the implant.  
• A metal stem is inserted into the femur, and a metal or ceramic ball is placed on top. A metal socket is placed in the pelvis to hold the ball.  
• The incision is closed with stitches or staples.

Early Activity

Soon after surgery, you will begin to walk short distances in your hospital room and perform light everyday activities. This early activity aids your recovery and helps your hip regain its strength and movement.

Walking

Proper walking is the best way to help your hip recover. At first, you will walk with a walker or crutches. Your surgeon or therapist will tell you how much weight to put on your leg.

• Stand comfortably and erect with your weight evenly balanced on your walker or crutches.
• Advance your walker or crutches a short distance; then reach forward with your operated leg with your knee straightened so the heel of your foot touches the floor first.
• As you move forward, your knee and ankle will bend and your entire foot will rest evenly on the floor.
• As you complete the step, your toe will lift off the floor and your and knee and hip will bend so that you can reach forward for your next step. Remember, touch your heel first, then flatten your foot, then lift your toes off the floor.
• Walk as rhythmically and smoothly as you can. Don't hurry. Adjust the length of your step and speed as necessary to walk with an even pattern.
• As your muscle strength and endurance improve, you may spend more time walking, and you will gradually put more weight on your leg. 
• When you can walk and stand for more than 10 minutes and your leg is strong enough so that you are not carrying any weight on your walker or crutches, you can begin using a single crutch or cane. Hold the aid in the hand opposite the side of your surgery.

Stair Climbing and Descending

Stair climbing is an excellent strengthening and endurance activity, and it also requires flexibility.

• At first, you will need a handrail for support and will be able to go only one step at a time. Always lead up the stairs with your good leg and down the stairs with your operated leg. Remember, "up with the good" and "down with the bad."
• You may want to have someone help you negotiate stairs until you have regained most of your strength and mobility.
• Do not try to climb steps higher than the standard height (7 inches) and always use a handrail for balance.
• As you become stronger and more mobile, you can begin to climb stairs foot over foot.

Walking

Walk with a cane until you have regained your balance skills. It is also safe to walk on a treadmill if you are concerned about walking outside on uneven ground.

• In the beginning, walk for 5 to 10 minutes, 3 to 4 times a day.
• As your strength and endurance improve, you can walk for 20 to 30 minutes, 2 to 3 times a day.
• Once you have fully recovered, regular walks of 20 to 30 minutes, 3 to 4 times a week, will help maintain your strength.

The pain from your hip problems before your surgery and the pain and swelling after surgery have weakened your hip muscles. In addition, the muscles around your hip prior to total hip replacement became short and tight because your hip didn't move. A full recovery will take many weeks, and it will take time for your muscles to recondition and get used to your new hip that moves freely.
