Total Hip

A joint resurfacing procedure for advanced hip arthritis, relieving pain and restoring smooth, confident movement.
Total hip replacement, at a glance.
A quick summary of what the procedure involves, who it's for, and what to expect — from recovery to cost.
Total hip replacement replaces a worn hip socket and femoral head, relieving pain from advanced hip arthritis that hasn't responded to conservative treatment. Most patients walk with support within 24 hours and resume light daily activities within 3 to 6 weeks. Total cost varies by implant and hospital stay, confirmed during consultation.
ABOUT THE TREATMENT
A Smarter Approach to Hip Replacement
Total hip replacement removes the damaged hip socket (acetabulum) and femoral head, replacing them with prosthetic components that recreate smooth, pain-free joint movement. Dr. Unmesh plans implant size and positioning from your imaging to restore natural leg length and joint mechanics as closely as possible. The result is significant pain relief, improved mobility, and a return to activities that arthritis had taken away.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Your Questions, Answered
What is total hip replacement?
Total hip replacement replaces the worn hip socket (acetabulum) and femoral head with prosthetic components, relieving pain from advanced hip arthritis and restoring smoother joint movement.
How do I know if I need a hip replacement?
Signs include persistent groin or hip pain, stiffness, a limp, and difficulty with activities like putting on shoes or getting out of a car, especially when conservative treatment hasn't helped.
How long does the surgery take?
Total hip replacement typically takes 60 to 90 minutes. Careful pre-operative planning helps Dr. Unmesh achieve precise implant positioning and joint alignment.
When can I walk after surgery?
Most patients stand and walk with support on the same day or within 24 hours of surgery, as part of a structured early mobilisation protocol.
What are hip precautions and how long do they last?
Hip precautions are movement guidelines, such as avoiding certain deep bends or crossing the legs, that protect the new joint while it heals. Dr. Unmesh will explain which precautions apply to you and for how long, typically the first several weeks.
How long is the recovery period?
Most patients resume light daily activities within 3 to 6 weeks, with continued improvement in strength and confidence over 3 to 6 months.
How long is the hospital stay?
Most patients stay in hospital for 2 to 4 days after surgery, depending on recovery progress and overall health, before being guided through a safe discharge plan.
Will my leg length feel different after surgery?
Dr. Unmesh carefully plans implant positioning to restore natural leg length and joint mechanics as closely as possible, and will discuss any specific concerns with you before surgery.
How long does the implant last?
Modern hip implants can last 20 to 25 years or more with proper care, particularly when positioned accurately to distribute joint load evenly.
Am I a candidate for total hip replacement?
Candidacy depends on the severity of your hip arthritis, ongoing pain despite conservative treatment, and its impact on daily life. Dr. Unmesh will confirm suitability through examination and imaging.
