About Hip Replacement (Total)
Total hip replacement replaces the damaged hip joint with an artificial joint made of metal, ceramic, or plastic. It relieves chronic hip pain and improves mobility for patients with severe arthritis or hip fractures.
What to Expect
Under general or spinal anaesthesia, the surgeon removes the damaged femoral head and acetabulum and implants the artificial joint. Surgery takes 1–2 hours. Hospital stay is 3–5 days. Physiotherapy begins the day after surgery.
