About THR (Total Hip Replacement)

Total Hip Replacement (THR), also known as Hip Arthroplasty, is an advanced orthopedic surgical procedure performed to relieve chronic hip pain and restore mobility in patients suffering from hip joint damage. This condition often results from osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, hip fractures, or avascular necrosis. When pain becomes severe and daily activities like walking, sitting, or climbing stairs are difficult, Total Hip Replacement offers a long-term, effective solution.

The hip joint functions as a ball-and-socket mechanism, where the head of the femur (thigh bone) fits into the acetabulum (hip socket) of the pelvis. In a diseased or injured joint, the cartilage cushioning these bones wears away, leading to friction, stiffness, and pain. During THR surgery, the damaged bone and cartilage are carefully removed and replaced with artificial components made from durable metal, ceramic, or high-quality plastic materials. These implants are designed to replicate the natural shape and movement of the hip joint.

Modern surgical techniques, including minimally invasive and computer-assisted methods, allow greater precision, smaller incisions, and quicker recovery. The artificial joint restores smooth movement, stability, and alignment, allowing patients to walk without discomfort.

After the surgery, patients typically begin physiotherapy within 24–48 hours. Early movement is encouraged to prevent stiffness and improve circulation. A personalized rehabilitation plan focuses on strengthening the muscles, increasing flexibility, and regaining balance. Most patients can resume daily activities within a few weeks, with complete recovery achieved over a few months.

Total Hip Replacement provides lasting benefits such as significant pain relief, enhanced joint mobility, improved posture, and better quality of life. With advancements in implant technology, modern prosthetic joints can last 15–20 years or longer with proper care.

At Raghuraj Hospital, Jaipur, our experienced orthopedic surgeons use state-of-the-art technology, superior implants, and minimally invasive techniques to ensure safe, precise, and effective hip replacement surgeries. Our goal is to help patients regain independence, restore confidence, and enjoy an active, pain-free lifestyle once again.

Modern THR techniques use minimally invasive and computer-assisted navigation to enhance precision, minimize tissue damage, and reduce recovery time. Advanced materials such as titanium alloys, ceramic bearings, and high-grade polyethylene liners provide excellent durability and reduce wear over time.

After the surgery, patients are usually encouraged to start moving within 24–48 hours under the supervision of physiotherapists. Early rehabilitation helps in improving blood flow, preventing stiffness, and speeding up recovery. A structured physiotherapy program focuses on strengthening hip and leg muscles, improving flexibility, and gradually restoring full range of motion.

With proper post-operative care, most patients regain their independence within a few weeks and can return to daily activities, including walking, climbing stairs, and light exercises, without pain. Full recovery typically occurs within three to six months, depending on age, fitness, and commitment to rehabilitation.

Our goal is to help patients regain pain-free movement, restore confidence, and return to an active and independent lifestyle. With compassion, precision, and innovation, Raghuraj Hospital continues to be a trusted name in comprehensive orthopedic and joint replacement care in Jaipur and beyond.
