Aditthya Hospitals in Karaikudi performs hip replacement surgery for patients with severe hip arthritis or joint damage, followed by a physiotherapy-led recovery programme to restore mobility.
When Hip Replacement Is Recommended
Hip replacement surgery is generally considered for patients experiencing severe hip pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility due to advanced arthritis, avascular necrosis, or joint damage from injury, especially when conservative treatment no longer provides relief.
The Surgical Process at Aditthya Hospitals
Patients undergo a thorough pre-surgical evaluation, including clinical assessment and imaging, to determine the extent of joint damage. During surgery, the damaged hip joint is replaced with an artificial implant designed to restore smooth, pain-free movement.
Recovery and Physiotherapy
After surgery, patients are guided through a structured physiotherapy programme to rebuild strength and mobility gradually, with the hospital's rehabilitation team monitoring recovery closely at each stage.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need hip replacement surgery?
Persistent hip pain and stiffness that limit daily activities and don't improve with conservative treatment are signs to consult an orthopedic doctor for evaluation.
Is hip replacement surgery safe for older patients?
Each patient is individually evaluated, and the procedure is performed when medically appropriate for the patient's overall health.
How soon can I walk after hip replacement surgery?
Recovery timelines vary, but supervised physiotherapy typically begins early to support a gradual return to walking and daily activities.
