 What is hip replacement surgery?

Hip replacement is the removal and replacement of portions of the pelvis and femur (thigh bone) that form your hip joint. It is performed primarily to relieve hip pain and stiffness caused by hip arthritis.

This procedure is also sometimes used to treat injuries such as a broken or improperly growing hip and for other conditions.

 How do you know if you need a hip replacement?

If you have these arthritis symptoms, you should consider a hip replacement:

1. Severe hip pain that is not relieved by medication and that interferes with your work, sleep or everyday activity
2. Hip stiffness that restricts motion and makes it difficult to walk

Hip anatomy

The hip is a ball-and-socket joint. The ball, at the top of your femur (thighbone) is called the femoral head. The socket, called the acetabulum, is a part of your pelvis. The ball moves in the socket, allowing your leg to rotate and move forward, backward, and sideways.

In a healthy hip, soft tissue called cartilage covers the ball and the socket to help it glide together smoothly. If this cartilage gets worn down or damaged, the bones scrape together and become rough. This condition, osteoarthritis, causes pain and restricts motion. An arthritic hip can make it painful to walk or even to get in or out of a chair. If you have been diagnosed with hip arthritis, you may not need surgery. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and/or physical therapy may provide relief. But, if these efforts do not relieve symptoms, you should consult an orthopedic surgeon.

What are the different types of hip replacement surgery?

The three major types of hip replacement are:

1. Total hip replacement (most common)

2. Partial hip replacement

3. Hip resurfacing

The most common type of hip replacement surgery is called a total hip replacement (also called total hip arthroplasty). In this surgery, worn-out or damaged sections of your hip are replaced with artificial implants. The socket is replaced with a durable plastic cup, which may or may not also include a titanium metal shell. Your femoral head will be removed and replaced with a ball made from ceramic or a metal alloy. The new ball is attached to a metal stem that is inserted into the top of your femur.

Two other types of hip replacement surgeries are each generally appropriate for patients of specific age groups and activity levels:

1. Partial hip replacement (also called hemiarthroplasty) involves replacing only one side of the hip joint – the femoral head – instead of both sides as in total hip replacement. This procedure is most commonly done in older patients who have fractured their hip.

2. Hip resurfacing of the femoral head and socket is most commonly done in younger, active patients.

 Hip replacement surgical methods

There are two major surgical approach methods for performing a total hip replacement:

1. the posterior approach (more common)

2. the anterior approach (sometimes called the "mini-anterior approach" or "muscle-sparing hip replacement")

To begin the operation, the hip replacement surgeon will make incisions on either the back (posterior) or front (anterior) of the hip. Both approaches offer pain relief and improvement in walking and movement within weeks of surgery.

How long does hip replacement surgery take?

Total hip replacement surgery takes about one and a half hours. Most patients also stay in the hospital for one or two days after the procedure.

How long does it take to recover from a hip replacement?

Your rehabilitation will begin within 24 hours after surgery. Most hip replacement patients progress to walking with a cane, walker or crutches within a day or two after surgery. As the days progress, you will increase the distance and frequency of walking. Full recovery generally takes anywhere from two to eight weeks, depending on the patient's general health and other factors.

✔ Your recovery will begin directly following surgery in the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU), where your medical team will manage your pain and monitor your vital signs.

✔ Once the anesthesiologist is satisfied with your condition, you will be moved to an inpatient recovery room to monitor your progress. Appropriate candidates for outpatient surgery will be discharged when medically appropriate.

✔ The pain management team will assess your medication and use a multifaceted approach to ensure comfort and mobility during the rehabilitation process.

✔ You will begin rehabilitation with a physical therapist within 24 hours. Your therapist will help you sit up, get in and out of bed, and practice walking and climbing stairs using a walker, cane or sometimes crutches.

✔ You will then continue physical therapy outside the hospital for six to eight weeks. After that period, most patients are able to do everyday activities and return to playing sports.
