Types of Hip Replacement
Total Hip Replacement
The entire hip joint is replaced with a prosthetic implant, including both the ball (femoral head) and socket (acetabulum).
Partial Hip Replacement
Only the femoral head is replaced, typically used in cases of fractures or specific conditions where the socket is still healthy.
Hip Resurfacing
Involves reshaping and capping the femoral head with a smooth metal covering, preserving more of the patient's natural bone.
Treatment Procedure
Preoperative Assessment
A thorough evaluation, including imaging studies, is performed to determine the most appropriate treatment approach. Dr. S. Manivannan will discuss the type of implant and surgical method best suited for your condition.
Surgical Process
The damaged bone and cartilage are carefully removed and replaced with the artificial components. The procedure is typically performed under general or spinal anesthesia and takes a few hours.
Recovery and Rehabilitation
Post-surgery, patients will begin a personalized rehabilitation program to restore mobility and strength. Physical therapy is essential for a successful recovery, focusing on regaining movement and function.
Post-Operative Care for Hip Replacement

A structured physical therapy program helps improve joint function and mobility. Patients are encouraged to start walking with assistance soon after surgery.
