What is hip replacement surgery?
“Imported implants built to last 20 to 25 years or more.”
Hip replacement surgery, also known as total hip arthroplasty, removes the damaged ball-and-socket joint and replaces it with a durable artificial implant made of metal, ceramic or high-grade polyethylene. It helps patients across Ranchi & Jharkhand regain a stable, pain-free hip without travelling to Delhi or Kolkata for the same procedure and imported implants.
The hip is one of the body’s largest weight-bearing joints. When osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis (AVN), injury or degenerative disease damages it beyond repair, every step becomes painful — sitting, standing and climbing stairs turn into a constant struggle.
The procedure eliminates the source of chronic hip pain by replacing the worn-out joint surfaces. The artificial joint mimics the natural hip, allowing smooth, pain-free movement. Modern imported implants are designed to last 20 to 25 years or more, with a success rate above 90% at 10 years.
Signs you may need
hip replacement
You may need joint replacement if
- Chronic hip pain persists even at rest or disturbs your sleep
- Walking, climbing stairs or getting up from a chair is difficult
- Stiffness from osteoarthritis or AVN limits how you bend or move the hip
- Pain does not improve with medicines, injections or physiotherapy
- X-rays or MRI show significant joint damage or bone-on-bone contact
Conservative options to try first
- Anti-inflammatory medicines and pain management
- Physiotherapy and strengthening exercises
- Walking aids to reduce stress on the joint
- Weight management to lower the load on the hip
For an elderly hip fracture, early surgery is usually safer than waiting — prolonged bed rest raises the risk of clots and pneumonia. For arthritis and AVN, surgery is recommended only when non-surgical treatment no longer relieves your pain. Dr. Saurav evaluates your hip with X-rays and diagnostic tests to determine the best course of action.
Types of hip replacement surgery
Total Hip Replacement
Both the ball (femoral head) and socket (acetabulum) are replaced with imported implants — the most common and reliable option for severe osteoarthritis and AVN.
Partial Hip Replacement
Only the femoral head (ball) is replaced. Typically used for certain hip fractures in elderly patients. Also known as hemiarthroplasty.
Anterior Approach
Minimally invasive surgery through the front of the hip — less muscle damage, faster recovery, reduced pain and lower dislocation risk.
Cemented vs Uncemented
Cemented implants use bone cement for immediate fixation; uncemented implants let bone grow into the implant. Chosen based on bone quality and age.
How hip replacement
surgery works
Pre-surgery evaluation — X-rays, MRI, blood tests and fitness assessment confirming osteoarthritis, AVN or joint-damage severity.
Admission and anaesthesia — spinal or general, based on your condition.
Minimally invasive incision over the hip through the chosen surgical approach.
Damaged femoral head removed and the acetabular socket prepared.
Imported implant fitted — artificial socket (cup) and femoral stem with a ceramic or metal ball, precisely placed.
Stability & leg length checked during surgery for optimal alignment.
Walking initiated the next day with physiotherapy support.
Discharge in 3 to 5 days with a structured rehabilitation and recovery plan.
The procedure typically takes 60 to 90 minutes. Dr. Saurav uses internationally sourced imported implants and advanced surgical techniques for the best outcomes.
Recovery after hip replacement
Walking with walker or support. Gentle range-of-motion exercises. Pain management.
Transition from walker to cane. Light household activities. Physiotherapy at home.
Walking with cane, then independently. Driving by week 4–6. Return to desk work.
Most daily activities resumed. Strengthening continues. Walking distance grows.
Full functional recovery for most patients — back to recreation and light sport.
Each patient recovers at their own pace. A structured physiotherapy program accelerates your recovery.
Preparing for hip replacement
Careful preparation and strict safety protocols give the best, safest result.
Before your surgery
Before your surgery, Dr. Saurav’s team runs a full pre-surgical work-up — X-rays, blood tests and a fitness and anaesthesia assessment — to confirm the diagnosis and make sure you are ready. Long-term conditions such as diabetes, blood pressure or heart disease are optimised first, and you are told clearly which medicines (such as blood thinners) to pause and when to stop eating before admission.
On the day, the procedure, your expected hospital stay and the recovery plan are explained again so you and your family know exactly what to expect — with a transparent, itemised cost estimate shared in advance and no hidden charges.
How your safety is protected
Your operation is performed in a dedicated, sterile operating theatre with an experienced anaesthesia team and strict infection-control protocols. The hip is positioned precisely to reduce dislocation risk, and leg length is checked during surgery. Blood-clot (DVT) prevention, careful tissue handling and quality imported implants further reduce risk and protect your result.
Dr. Saurav personally reviews your recovery, and the Medifirst Hospital team stays reachable for any concern after you go home. Serious complications are uncommon — and the honest, careful selection of who truly needs surgery is itself one of the most important safety steps of all.
