Primary Total Hip Replacements Care by Dr. Harsha G N

Primary total hip replacement is a definitive surgical procedure performed to relieve severe hip pain and restore joint mobility in patients suffering from advanced hip arthritis, fractures, avascular necrosis, or extensive joint damage. The procedure involves replacing the damaged hip joint surfaces with high-quality artificial implants designed to provide smooth, stable, and pain-free movement.

This surgery is recommended when conservative treatments such as medications, injections, physiotherapy, and lifestyle modifications fail to provide lasting relief. Careful preoperative planning and modern surgical techniques ensure accurate implant positioning, optimal joint alignment, and long-term durability.

When to Consider Primary Total Hip Replacement

• Persistent hip pain affecting walking, sitting, or daily activities
• Advanced osteoarthritis or degenerative joint disease of the hip
• Significant hip stiffness or reduced range of motion
• Poor response to non-surgical treatments and pain management

Advantages of Primary Total Hip Replacement

• Long-lasting pain relief and improved hip function
• Restoration of normal hip alignment and joint stability
• Enhanced mobility and ability to perform daily activities
• Durable implant design offering reliable long-term outcomes

Postoperative rehabilitation is a key component of recovery after primary total hip replacement. A personalized physiotherapy program focuses on restoring hip movement, strengthening muscles, and improving gait. Regular follow-up ensures proper healing, implant longevity, and sustained improvement in quality of life.
