Hip surgery is performed to relieve pain, restore mobility, and improve quality of life when the hip joint is damaged due to conditions like arthritis, injuries, or age-related wear. When conservative treatments such as medication, physiotherapy, and lifestyle changes are no longer effective, hip surgery may be recommended to restore smooth and pain-free movement.
When Is Hip Surgery Needed?
Hip surgery may be advised for individuals experiencing:
Persistent hip pain affecting daily activities
Stiffness and reduced range of motion
Difficulty walking, climbing stairs, or standing for long periods
Hip joint deformity or structural damage
Arthritis-related degeneration
Hip fractures or traumatic injuries
A detailed evaluation by Dr. Devansh Goyal helps determine the most suitable treatment option based on your condition and lifestyle needs.
Types of Hip Surgery
Total Hip Replacement
In this procedure, the damaged ball-and-socket joint is replaced with artificial components made from metal, ceramic, or high-grade plastic. This is recommended for severe arthritis or joint damage.
Hip Resurfacing
A bone-preserving option where the femoral head is capped with a metal covering instead of removing it entirely.
Hip Fracture Surgery
Used to stabilise broken bones using screws, plates, or rods, depending on the type and severity of the fracture.
Revision Hip Surgery
Performed when an existing hip implant wears out, becomes loose, or causes discomfort. The old implant is replaced with a new one to restore function.
Recovery After Hip Surgery
Following surgery, most patients experience significant improvements in pain and mobility. Recovery may include:
Pain management and medications
Physiotherapy to regain strength and flexibility
Gradual return to daily activities
Regular follow-up visits
