Total Hip Replacement

Total Hip Replacement (THR), also known as Total Hip Arthroplasty, is a proven and effective surgical procedure designed to relieve hip joint pain, improve mobility, and enhance overall quality of life. It is most commonly recommended for individuals suffering from advanced osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, avascular necrosis, or hip fractures that do not respond to conservative treatments.

The hip is a ball-and-socket joint where the head of the femur (thigh bone) fits into the acetabulum (hip socket). In total hip replacement, both the damaged femoral head and the socket are replaced with high-quality prosthetic components. The new joint mimics the function of a natural hip, allowing smoother, pain-free movement.

Modern hip replacements use biocompatible materials such as ceramic, metal, or highly cross-linked polyethylene to ensure durability and reduce wear over time. The procedure can be performed through various approaches—posterior, lateral, or anterior—depending on the patient’s anatomy, lifestyle, and the surgeon’s expertise.

Dr. Dhruv Paul utilizes the latest surgical techniques, including minimally invasive and muscle-sparing approaches, to ensure precision placement of implants, minimize tissue damage, and accelerate recovery. His patient-centered approach focuses on individualized care, optimal outcomes, and early mobilization.

Post-operative care includes early physiotherapy to encourage walking and range-of-motion exercises. Most patients begin walking with support the next day and return to normal, independent living within a few weeks. With proper care, modern hip implants can last 20 years or more.

Total Hip Replacement is life-changing for many—reducing chronic pain, correcting deformity, and restoring freedom of movement. Whether you're struggling to walk, sleep, or perform basic daily activities due to hip issues, this surgery offers a safe and lasting solution to regain your independence and mobility.
