Who Can Benefit from a Hip Replacement?
Osteoarthritis
A degenerative arthritis type in which cartilages degenerate resulting in pain, stiffness and poor movement of the hips. It is the most widespread cause of hip replacement surgery.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
A self-centered disorder of the immune system that leads to persistent inflammation, swelling, and deformity of the hip joint. It causes immense damage to the joints, in the long run, making hip replacement surgery a possibility.
Osteonecrosis (Avascular Necrosis)
Any impairment of blood flow to the femur head will result in bone death, collapse of the joint, excruciating pain, and limited movement and usually requires hip replacement surgery to alleviate it.
Hip Fracture
Trauma or osteoporosis causes breaks on the hip bone that cause severe pain, impaired functionality and normally necessitates surgical intervention such as hip replacement.
Tumor in the Hip Joint
Hip joint tumors are benign or malignant tumors that induce pain, swelling, inhibition of functional capacities and in most cases necessitate surgical excision or hip replacement to restore the mobility.

Our Pre-Surgery Diagnostic Process
Proper diagnosis will guarantee effective and safe hip replacement. We have the best hip replacement doctor in Ahmedabad based on a systematic screening to determine the health of your hips.
- Blood Tests: Standard tests such as basic metabolic tests are done to test general well-being and to determine possible risks during surgery.
- Urinalysis: Helps detect infections or kidney-related issues before surgery.
- X-rays: Are able to tell the degree of degeneration of the joint, bone damage, or arthritis vividly and accurately.
- CT Scan & MRI: Provide detailed imaging of bones, cartilage, and soft tissues to guide surgical planning. (Done only when necessary, for eg in AVN, etc.)
- ECG: Tests the work of the heart in order to be able to be sure of the situation on the anesthetic table.
Our Hip Replacement Surgical Process
Every hip replacement surgery is done with accuracy in order to achieve maximum recovery and mobility. The process is usually comprised of:
- Anesthesia: Regional anesthesia blocks pain in the lower body while keeping you awake, providing safe, targeted pain control.
- Removal of Damaged Tissue: The surgeon is very careful to remove the rotting bone and cartilage of the hip joint.
- Implant Insertion: Durable prosthetic components made of metal, ceramic, or polyethylene are placed to recreate a smooth, functional joint.
- Closure: The surgical site is securely closed with sutures or staples to promote healing.
- Surgery Duration: Both hip replacement surgeries require a duration of 1 2 hours, and the length will depend on the kind of surgery performed.
