What is Total Hip Replacement?
Total hip arthroplasty, called the “surgery of the century,” replaces the socket and worn or damaged end of the femur with a non-reactive material that is proven to be biocompatible. This is a surgery to replace the hip joint with an artificial hip joint (artificial joint) made of. in situ) included in body materials (tissue materials).
These materials used in hip replacement surgery are inert and have been proven to produce excellent results. At Barik ortho clinic Hospital in Nagpur, we provide compassionate care that includes selecting the right type of prosthesis (depending on various factors such as age, gender, bone density, femoral bone structure, etc.). Our surgeons always prefer the best cement less implants made from the proven titanium metal. The implant ball is constructed from the latest 4th generation implant with up to 30 years of tear resistance. Other biocompatible materials are also used as well as metals – cobalt chromium, titanium, oxinium. Previous plastic sockets are obsolete and highly cross-linked polyethylene (plastic) sockets are now used in patients, with a wear resistance of up to 15-20 years.

Prerequisites for Surgery
Surgeons should make sure that a patient doesn’t have any source of infection in the body, such as skin boils, dental, urine or chest infection.

A patient must also inform the doctor about any medical issues like diabetes, asthma, hypertension, hypothyroidism, etc. so that a doctor can take appropriate measures to control the same before surgery.
What is the procedure of the surgery?
- A patient is admitted one day before surgery.
- Relevant investigations are done.
- The patient is assessed by the multidisciplinary team (Surgeons, Anaesthetists, Physicians, Cardiologist, and Endocrinologists etc) and posted for surgery.
- The patient is shifted to preoperative hold area about an hour before being taken to the operation theatre.
- The surgery takes about 50 minutes excluding anaesthesia time.
- After the operation, a patient is kept in the recovery ward for 1 hour and then sent back to the room; the only high-risk case may be sent to ICU if necessary.
What is the Recovery Process?
Under the proficient guidance of the treating team of a multidisciplinary team including orthopaedic surgeons, dieticians, physiotherapists, etc. patients are taught proper physiotherapy exercises, lifestyle changes, ergonomics etc to keep them fit and lead a normal life.
Walking: The centre believes in assisting patients in making them walk on the same day of surgery, with full weight-bearing (under supervision of Physiotherapist). This can help in preventing complications like thrombosis/oedema (swelling )
Pain Relief: We provide adequate treatment for pain relief in the form of epidural pump, patient control analgesia (PCA) and a combination of oral and intravenous drugs. The patient should inform when in pain. The pain management team at Nanavati Max is there to offer assistance at any given time.
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Prevention: Adequate measures are taken for prevention of thrombosis, such as DVT pump (pressure cuff around the calf), certain drugs, and early mobility.
Discharge from Hospital: in case of single hip replacement patient will get discharged from the hospital in 3-4 days after surgery. However, it may take 4-5 days if both hips are operated.
What precautions should be taken at Home After Surgery?
Short-term precautions
The temperature should be monitored. Doctor to be informed if it goes above 100.5 degrees Fahrenheit.
Doctor to be informed if there is an excessive pain.
Inform the doctor if there is excessive swelling, redness around the operated area or discharge from the wound.
Use of walking aid is recommended until advised otherwise.
Low chairs or commodes should not be used.
After the hip replacement surgery, it may take some time by the surrounding muscles and tissue to heal. After this, a patient may be able to resume normal activities.
The following movements must be avoided for the first 12 weeks to reduce the risk of hip dislocation:
Bending the hip beyond an ‘L’ shape ( 90 degrees)
Sitting in cross leg position
Make sure there is no movement of the operated leg across/over the midline of the body
wisting the operated leg / turning leg inside
Long-term precautions
Make sure to inform your treating doctor if you are undergoing any surgical/ dental procedures requiring antibiotic cover.
High impact exercise such as jumping, running should be avoided.
Inform your doctor if you experience any pain, swelling or instability.
It is advisable to use a toilet seat with a high commode attachment or a high commode chair at home.
Physiotherapy should be done regularly to facilitate walking and strengthening of muscles.
The patient should be mobilised as much as comfortably possible.
What are the Risks/Complications of the procedure?
All types of surgical and anaesthetic procedures carry some risks, particularly if there are other medical problems that a patient may be suffering from. However, our healthcare team has been trained to make sure that these are minimised and the treatment is carried out safely. Patients must be aware of some specific risks related to hip surgery. However, chances of immediate complications are less than 2 %
Infection: Sometimes despite strict precautions, infection can occur. Superficial infection may occur at the wound site.
Deep Infection: May occur in the early postoperative period or sometimes, later. Therefore, a patient must immediately see a doctor if he/she experiences an infection that may develop in any part of the body.
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): Despite taking precautions to prevent blood clot (thrombosis) formation in veins of the leg post-surgery, it remains a common risk after hip replacement surgery. Rarely, these clots can dislodge and travel through the heart to the lungs. This is known as pulmonary embolism which can cause serious complications in rare cases.
Loosening of the Prosthesis (Without Infection): This is a risk common to all artificial joints. It weakens the bond between new joints and bones. Although it is expected that the new hip will last for many years, it can become loose earlier than anticipated, particularly if a patient is obese, or have damaged joint following an injury, or start performing daily activities without taking proper rest. If the joint becomes loose then it can generally be replaced by another. This is a more complex procedure that involves greater risks. With newer implants, it is common to see hip replacements last more than 15 years
Persistent Pain: The operation may not relieve a patient of all pain, and he or she may continue to experience some mild discomfort. Complex regional pain syndrome, although rare, can cause pain, stiffness, swelling, and skin changes. Other recognised risks of hip surgery include bone fracture, urinary retention, bruising, anaesthesia, and blood transfusion.
How soon does a patient Recover From Surgery?
After single hip replacement, a patient can stand with the assistance of a physiotherapist on the same day after surgery and start moving under the supervision of a physiotherapist.
Toilet seat (raised) can be used after 3-4 days of surgery, independently by the patient.
In case both hip replacements were done together, the recovery process is a little longer but same principles would apply in this condition as well.
A healthy hip joint is must to perform everyday movement, failure to which, can lead to pain and limit your movement.
