Understanding THR

What is Total Hip Replacement Surgery?

Total hip replacement (THR) — also called total hip arthroplasty (THA) — is a procedure in which the entire damaged hip joint is replaced. Both the femoral head (ball at the top of the thigh bone) and the acetabular socket (hip socket in the pelvis) are removed and replaced with precision-fitted artificial components.

Unlike hemi-arthroplasty which replaces only the femoral head, THR addresses both joint surfaces — providing more durable, longer-lasting pain relief and better functional outcomes, particularly for patients with arthritis and avascular necrosis (AVN).

The result: a smooth, pain-free, stable hip joint that bears full body weight, allows normal walking, and restores complete independence in daily activities.

Femoral Stem

Metal stem inserted into the femoral canal — anchors the implant and supports the artificial femoral head component above

Femoral Head

Metal or ceramic ball replacing the natural femoral head — articulates smoothly with the acetabular cup liner

Acetabular Cup

Metal shell press-fitted or cemented into the reamed acetabulum — provides the socket component of the new hip joint

Acetabular Liner

Polyethylene, ceramic or metal insert inside the cup — the bearing surface providing smooth, low-friction hip movement

Who Needs THR

Conditions Requiring Total Hip Replacement

Total hip replacement is recommended when hip joint damage causes severe, persistent pain and disability that no longer responds to non-surgical treatment. The following conditions are the most common indications for THR.

01

Advanced Hip Osteoarthritis

The most common indication. Progressive cartilage loss causes bone-on-bone contact, severe hip and groin pain, limping, and significant restriction of daily activities.

02

Avascular Necrosis (AVN) of the Hip

Disrupted blood supply causes femoral head collapse and joint destruction. Total hip replacement is typically needed at Stage 3–4 AVN. See AVN hip treatment →

03

Rheumatoid Arthritis

Autoimmune inflammation progressively destroys the entire hip joint. THR provides lasting pain relief when medication and joint management no longer control symptoms.

04

Post-Traumatic Hip Arthritis

Prior hip fractures, dislocations, or acetabular injuries cause accelerated arthritis over time — eventually requiring total hip replacement for pain relief.

05

Hip Dysplasia with Arthritis

Developmental dysplasia of the hip causes premature, severe arthritis — often in younger patients. Specialised THR with acetabular reconstruction addresses the abnormal hip anatomy.

06

Failed Conservative Treatment

Physiotherapy, anti-inflammatory medications, weight management, and hip injections have not provided adequate or sustained relief over several months of treatment.

07

Failed Previous Hip Surgery

Patients with a failed previous hip arthroplasty, hemi-arthroplasty or hip resurfacing may require revision total hip replacement with specialised implant systems.

Surgical Technique

Surgical Approaches for Total Hip Replacement

The surgical approach — how the hip is accessed — significantly affects muscle disruption, recovery speed and hip precautions. Dr. Talreja selects the most appropriate approach based on each patient's anatomy, body type and condition.

Posterior Approach

The most widely used approach worldwide. The hip is accessed from behind, through the buttock. Provides excellent surgical exposure and visibility, suitable for most patients and anatomies.

Hip precautions (avoiding certain movements) are typically required for 6 to 12 weeks to prevent dislocation while posterior soft tissues heal.

Most commonly used

Anterolateral Approach

The hip is accessed from the side, between muscle groups. Provides stable access and reliable exposure. Less dislocation risk than the posterior approach with standard hip precautions.

Commonly used for revision procedures and in patients where posterior soft tissue quality is a concern.

Lower dislocation risk

Direct Anterior Approach (DAA)

The hip is accessed from the front, between natural muscle planes without cutting through muscle. Offers faster initial recovery, less early pain and typically fewer hip dislocation precautions required.

Best suited to patients of appropriate body habitus and anatomy — requires specialised equipment and surgical expertise.

Minimally invasive option

Minimally Invasive Total Hip Replacement at Manipal Hospital Jaipur

Where appropriate, Dr. Harish Talreja employs minimally invasive surgical techniques — using smaller incisions and muscle-sparing approaches — to reduce post-operative pain, blood loss and recovery time compared to traditional open hip replacement.

Smaller Incision

Reduced tissue disruption with less scarring

Less Blood Loss

Reduced transfusion requirement

Faster Recovery

Earlier return to daily activities

Less Post-Op Pain

Improved early comfort and mobility

Shorter Stay

Earlier hospital discharge

Surgical Process

How Total Hip Replacement is Performed

The procedure takes 1 to 2 hours under spinal or general anaesthesia. Physiotherapy begins on Day 1, and most patients are discharged within 3 to 5 days.

01

Pre-Operative Assessment

Weight-bearing X-rays, blood tests, cardiac clearance and anaesthesia review. Implant type, size and surgical approach are templated individually for each patient before surgery.

02

Anaesthesia and Positioning

Spinal anaesthesia preferred. Patient positioned according to the chosen approach — lateral for posterior/anterolateral, supine for direct anterior. Tourniquet not required for hip replacement.

03

Joint Resection and Implantation

Damaged femoral head removed. Acetabulum reamed to correct size and cup implanted. Femoral canal prepared and stem inserted with appropriate sizing. Femoral head attached. Stability, leg length and alignment confirmed under imaging before wound closure.

04

Day 1 Mobilisation

Wound closed in layers. Physiotherapy begins on Day 1 — sitting up, standing and taking first steps with a walker. Hip precautions are taught and demonstrated before discharge.

Rehabilitation

Recovery After Total Hip Replacement

A Day 1 mobilisation protocol — starting physiotherapy within hours of surgery — is the cornerstone of faster, safer recovery after total hip replacement.

Day 1

First Steps with Support

Physiotherapy begins on Day 1. Standing, taking steps with a walker, and hip precaution training starts on the same day or the morning after surgery.

Days 3–5

Discharge Home

Most patients are discharged within 3 to 5 days with home exercise programme, wound care instructions and hip precaution guidance.

Weeks 4–6

Walking Without Aids

Most patients walk independently without a walker or crutches. Reduction in pain and limping continues progressively.

Weeks 6–12

Hip Precautions Lifted

Hip precautions are typically discontinued at 6 to 12 weeks as soft tissues have healed sufficiently. Driving and light work typically resume in this period.

Month 3–6

Full Functional Recovery

Walking endurance, strength and full independence in daily activities are achieved. Light recreational activities, travel and extended walking are comfortably possible.

Hip Precautions After Total Hip Replacement

These precautions are followed for 6 to 12 weeks after surgery to prevent hip dislocation while the posterior soft tissues heal around the new implant.

Do NOT bend the hip beyond 90 degrees

Avoid sitting on low chairs, sofas or toilets — use raised toilet seats and firm, high-seated chairs during the precaution period.

Do NOT cross your legs

Crossing the operated leg over the opposite leg in any position can dislocate the new hip joint during early recovery.

Do NOT rotate the leg inwards

Avoid turning the foot of the operated leg inward — this position places the hip at highest dislocation risk in the posterior approach.

Keep a pillow between your knees when sleeping

Sleeping on your back with a pillow between the knees prevents inadvertent crossing of the legs during sleep.

Use mobility aids as instructed

Use your walker or crutches for the period advised. Attempting to discard aids before the surgeon clears you increases dislocation risk.

Attend all physiotherapy sessions

Physiotherapy is the single most important factor in a fast, safe recovery. Regular sessions rebuild strength and ensure proper movement patterns.

Informed Decision-Making

Risks and Considerations of THR

Total hip replacement has over 95% patient satisfaction in long-term published studies. As with all major surgery, potential risks exist and are discussed in full during pre-operative consultation so every patient makes a completely informed decision.

Hip Dislocation

The most specific risk of hip replacement. Careful surgical technique, correct implant positioning and patient adherence to hip precautions for 6 to 12 weeks significantly reduce this risk.

Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)

Blood-thinning medication (anticoagulants), compression stockings and Day 1 mobilisation significantly reduce the risk of blood clots after hip replacement.

Infection

Prophylactic antibiotics are given pre-operatively. Strict sterile technique is maintained throughout. Periprosthetic joint infection rate is less than 1% in experienced hands.

Leg Length Discrepancy

A small difference in leg length after hip replacement can occur. Meticulous pre-operative templating and intra-operative assessment minimise this risk in the vast majority of patients.

Implant Loosening Over Time

Modern cementless and cemented implants have excellent long-term survival. Maintaining healthy body weight and avoiding high-impact activities significantly extends implant life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Total Hip Replacement — Common Questions

Total hip replacement cost in Jaipur ranges from approximately ₹1,60,000 for standard cemented implants to ₹5,50,000 for premium ceramic bearing surfaces — depending on implant brand, fixation method, hospital stay and associated tests. A personalised estimate is provided after consultation. CGHS and RGHS schemes for Rajasthan government employees and most corporate health insurance policies cover total hip replacement surgery. The team at Manipal Hospital Jaipur assists with pre-authorisation and documentation.

Total hip replacement typically takes 1 to 2 hours depending on the complexity of the case, patient anatomy, and whether any additional procedures — such as bone grafting or acetabular reconstruction — are required. Spinal anaesthesia induction and post-operative recovery monitoring add additional time to the hospital day.

Most patients walk with a walker on Day 1. They are discharged within 3 to 5 days. Walking without aids is typically achieved by 4 to 6 weeks. Return to driving, light work and social activities occurs around 6 to 8 weeks (once hip precautions are lifted). Full functional recovery — extended walking, travel, light recreational activity — is usually achieved by 3 to 6 months. Physiotherapy is the single most important factor in recovery quality and speed.

After posterior approach total hip replacement, hip precautions are followed for 6 to 12 weeks to prevent dislocation: avoid bending the hip past 90 degrees, do not cross the legs, avoid turning the foot inward, and use raised toilet seats and high chairs. These precautions are thoroughly explained and demonstrated before hospital discharge. Patients who had the direct anterior approach typically have fewer restrictions.

Modern total hip replacement implants are engineered to last 15 to 25 years or longer. Published national joint registry data consistently shows over 90% of total hip replacements functioning well at 15 to 20 years. Implant longevity is maximised by maintaining a healthy body weight, avoiding high-impact activities, and attending regular annual follow-up appointments.

Total hip replacement replaces both the femoral head (ball) and the acetabular socket (cup) — addressing the entire joint. Hemi-arthroplasty replaces only the femoral head while the natural acetabular socket is preserved. THR provides superior long-term outcomes for arthritis and AVN as it resurfaces both damaged joint surfaces. Hemi-arthroplasty is more commonly used in elderly patients with hip fractures where a quicker, less complex procedure carries lower surgical risk.

Yes. Total hip replacement is regularly and safely performed in patients in their 70s, 80s and beyond. For elderly patients with hip fractures, early surgery is associated with better outcomes and fewer complications than prolonged bed rest. Each patient's cardiac fitness, medical conditions and anaesthetic suitability are carefully assessed pre-operatively to ensure the safest possible approach is taken.
