HIP REPLACEMENT SURGERIES AT
POLARIS HEALTHCARE
Total Hip Replacement
Total hip replacement is a surgical procedure that involves replacing a damaged or diseased hip joint with a prosthetic implant. This procedure is typically recommended for patients with severe hip pain, stiffness, or limited mobility that do not respond to non-surgical treatments. During the surgery, the damaged parts of the hip joint are removed and replaced with a prosthetic implant designed to replicate the natural movement and function of the hip joint. Total hip replacement can significantly improve hip function, relieve pain, and allow patients to return to normal activities with greater mobility and comfort.
Partial Hip Replacement
Partial hip replacement surgery, also known as hip hemiarthroplasty, is a surgical procedure that involves replacing only the damaged or diseased part of the hip joint with an artificial implant. This type of surgery is typically recommended for patients with a fracture or other damage to the femoral head, the ball-shaped part of the hip joint. During the procedure, the damaged part of the hip joint is removed and replaced with a prosthetic implant secured to the remaining healthy bone. Partial hip replacement surgery is less invasive than total hip replacement and may result in less pain, shorter hospital stays, and faster patient recovery times.
Revision Hip Replacemet
Revision hip replacement involves replacing a previously implanted hip prosthesis with a new one. This procedure is usually recommended for patients who experience pain, instability, or implant failure after an initial hip replacement surgery. This is a more complex surgery than initial hip replacement, as bone loss, implant loosening, or other complications may occur. Patients may require a more extended recovery and rehabilitation than the initial surgery. However, revision hip replacement can improve mobility and reduce pain for patients who have experienced problems with their initial hip replacement.
Femur Fracture Case
​A Femur fracture, also known as a thigh bone fracture, is a severe injury caused by high-impact trauma or certain medical conditions. The femur is the largest and strongest bone in the human body, and a fracture in this bone can be extremely painful and debilitating. Proper medical attention and care are essential for managing this type of injury and minimising long-term complications. Treatment for a femur fracture usually involves surgical intervention, such as placing metal pins, plates, or screws to stabilise the bone while it heals. Rehabilitation and physical therapy are also crucial components of recovery, as they help restore mobility and strength to the affected leg.

FAQ'S
1. What is a total hip replacement?
A total hip replacement is a surgical procedure that replaces the damaged or diseased hip joint with a prosthetic implant. The procedure involves removing the damaged bone and cartilage and replacing it with an artificial joint made of metal, ceramic, or plastic, which can improve mobility and reduce pain
2. What is a partial hip replacement?
A partial hip replacement, also known as a hemiarthroplasty, is a surgical procedure that replaces only one part of the hip joint. Specifically, the damaged or diseased ball of the hip joint is removed and replaced with a prosthetic implant, while the socket of the hip joint is left intact.
3. What is revision hip replacement?
Hip revision surgery is a procedure that aims to address the deterioration of an artificial hip joint (prosthesis) caused by infection or regular wear and tear over time. By addressing the issue, this surgery helps to restore the hip joint's normal function.
4. What is the benefit of total hip replacement surgery?
There are numerous benefits to undergoing total hip replacement surgery. Patients often find that the reduction in pain alone is worth it. The resulting improvement in mobility and hip function can significantly enhance their quality of life by allowing them to regain their independence and participate in regular activities.
5. How long would the hip implant last?
According to our expert hip replacement surgeons in Pune, around 75% of hip replacements last 15 to 20 years, while 95% last for at least ten years. Moreover, about 50% of hip replacements can last 25 years or more. To increase the longevity of a replacement hip, it is advisable to maintain a healthy weight, remain active, and avoid high-impact activities.
6. How do I know if I need a hip replacement?
There are several signs that may indicate a need for a hip replacement, including:
-
Persistent pain or stiffness in the hip joint that limits daily activities.

Difficulty in walking, climbing stairs, or getting in and out of chairs or cars.
