Hip replacement is needed when persistent hip pain limits daily life and no longer responds to medication, physiotherapy or injections. Common causes include severe osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis and hip fractures.

Signs you may need a hip replacement

Persistent groin or hip pain at rest, difficulty putting on shoes or socks, a noticeable limp, and sleep disturbed by hip pain are classic red flags.

If you have advanced osteoarthritis or avascular necrosis confirmed on imaging, hip replacement is often the most effective long-term solution.

When you can avoid surgery

Early-stage arthritis often responds well to weight management, physiotherapy, anti-inflammatory medication and joint injections.

Surgery becomes the right choice only when these conservative measures stop working.

Why robotic hip replacement?

Robotic hip replacement ensures perfect implant positioning, equal leg length post-op, and lowest dislocation risk — critical advantages for younger and active patients.
