Hip Replacement Surgery in Kopar Khairane, Navi Mumbai

Hip replacement surgery replaces a damaged hip joint with an artificial one to relieve pain and restore movement. It is used for severe hip arthritis, damage from loss of blood supply to the hip bone (avascular necrosis), and some hip fractures in older people. At Apex Multispeciality Hospital, Kopar Khairane, orthopaedic surgeons perform total and partial hip replacement with physiotherapy-led recovery.

When is hip replacement recommended?

  • Severe hip or groin pain that limits walking and sleep
  • Stiffness that makes it hard to put on socks or shoes
  • Advanced arthritis or avascular necrosis on X-ray or MRI
  • Some fractures of the neck of the thigh bone in older adults

Types of hip replacement

  • Total hip replacement: both the ball and the socket are replaced
  • Partial hip replacement (hemiarthroplasty): only the ball is replaced, often for hip fractures in older people

Recovery and precautions

  • Walking with a walker or crutches at first, then a stick
  • Daily exercises to strengthen the hip muscles
  • For the first weeks, avoid bending the hip too far, crossing your legs or sitting on very low chairs, as advised by your surgeon, to reduce the risk of dislocation
  • Most people return to normal daily activities in about 6 to 12 weeks

Rehabilitation is supported by the hospital’s physiotherapy team. [HOSPITAL TO VERIFY: physiotherapy available for inpatients and outpatients]

  • Infection

  • Dislocation of the new joint
