Hip Replacement
Surgery In Kurnool

What is Hip Replacement Surgery ?

The hips are responsible for a range of movements, from twisting and standing to running and jumping, while also bearing the weight of the body. Positioned at the junction of the torso and legs, the hips connect with the femur to support activities such as walking and running. Any impediment to these movements can be uncomfortable.

At Sri Sai Satya Orthopedic Hospital in Kurnool, we offer a diagnosis for hip conditions and recommend the appropriate procedure, including Total Hip Replacement, Complex Hip Replacement, or Revision Hip Replacement.

Why does one need a hip replacement surgery?

Hip replacement surgery is recommended when the hip joint is damaged due to injury or degenerative conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or avascular necrosis. This damage can cause severe pain, stiffness, and mobility issues that affect the quality of life. Hip replacement surgery involves removing the damaged parts of the hip joint and replacing them with artificial components made of metal, plastic, or ceramic.

The surgery aims to alleviate pain, restore mobility, and improve the overall function of the hip joint. It is typically recommended when other non-surgical treatments have failed to provide relief. With advances in technology and techniques, hip replacement surgery has become a safe and effective solution for people suffering from debilitating hip conditions.

What are the various benefits of hip replacement?

1. Pain relief: Hip replacement surgery can provide significant relief from chronic hip pain that interferes with daily activities, sleep, and overall quality of life.
2. Improved mobility: After hip replacement, patients may experience improved mobility and flexibility, allowing them to resume activities they previously could not perform due to hip pain and stiffness.
3. Enhanced quality of life: By reducing pain and improving mobility, hip replacement surgery can improve a patient's overall quality of life and increase their independence.
4. Long-lasting results: With proper care and rehabilitation, hip replacements can last for many years, allowing patients to enjoy pain-free movement for an extended period. This can reduce the need for future surgeries and related medical expenses.
