Hip replacement is consistently rated among the most impactful elective surgeries for quality-of-life improvement. When performed in a high-volume centre with experienced surgeons, outcomes are reliable and durable.
Conditions Requiring Hip Replacement
The hip joint is a ball-and-socket articulation that bears the body's weight through every step. When the cartilage covering the femoral head (ball) or acetabulum (socket) is destroyed, the resulting bone-on-bone contact causes severe, progressive pain. Hip replacement is indicated when these conditions have advanced beyond effective conservative management:
- Severe osteoarthritis - the most common indication
- Rheumatoid or inflammatory arthritis affecting the hip
- Avascular necrosis (osteonecrosis) of the femoral head
- Post-fracture arthritis following hip or acetabular fracture
- Hip dysplasia causing early secondary arthritis
- Failed prior hip procedures (osteotomy, hemi-arthroplasty)
Who Is a Candidate for Hip Replacement?
Candidacy is determined after a thorough clinical and radiological assessment. Hip replacement is generally considered when the following apply:
- Persistent hip or groin pain significantly affecting walking distance or daily function
- Pain at rest or at night disrupting sleep
- X-ray showing bone-on-bone contact or severe joint-space loss
- Failure of 6+ months of conservative treatment (medication, physiotherapy, injections)
- Limp or leg-length discrepancy due to joint collapse
- General health adequate for surgery and rehabilitation
Hip Replacement: Recovery Timeline
A representative recovery path following total hip replacement at Hunjan Hospital. Your physiotherapy team will adjust the programme based on your progress.
- Day 1
First Steps After Surgery
With our Enhanced Recovery protocol, a physiotherapist assists you to stand and take short steps on the day of surgery. Pain is managed with multimodal analgesia. Anticoagulant therapy and compression stockings begin immediately to prevent deep vein thrombosis.
- Week 1–2
Discharge & Early Mobility
Most patients are discharged within 3–5 days walking with a walker. At home, you continue daily exercises, follow hip precautions (avoiding extreme flexion and internal rotation) and attend wound review. Swelling and mild discomfort are expected and manageable.
- Week 3–6
Building Confidence
Walking endurance increases. Many patients transition from a walking frame to a single stick. Formal physiotherapy sessions focus on strength, balance and gait normalisation. Hip precautions are reviewed and typically relaxed at 6 weeks.
- 3 Months
Return to Daily Life
By 3 months most patients walk without an aid, resume driving (subject to surgeon clearance) and manage stairs comfortably. The hip continues to feel more natural as surrounding muscles strengthen and scar tissue matures.
- 6–12 Months
Full Functional Recovery
Most patients achieve their functional goals - long-distance walking, travel, light recreational activity - by 6 months. Complete soft-tissue healing and maximum strength recovery occur over 9–12 months. Modern cementless implants osseointegrate for durable long-term fixation.
