Hip Replacement

What is Hip Replacement?

During a total hip replacement, the damaged head of the femur (thighbone) and the hip socket are replaced with a combination of metal, ceramic, and/or plastic components, recreating the smooth ball-and-socket motion of a healthy hip joint.

The procedure typically takes 1-2 hours under general or spinal anesthesia, with most patients able to stand and begin walking with assistance within a day. A structured rehabilitation program follows, with most patients returning to normal daily activities within 6-12 weeks.
