Understanding total hip replacement
Total hip replacement is a robotic-assisted surgery that replaces the damaged ball and socket of the hip with a long-lasting implant.
A pre-op CT scan creates a 3D model of your hip. The surgeon plans the cup angle, stem position and leg length, and the robotic arm executes the plan exactly — preventing leg length discrepancy and dislocation that can occur with conventional surgery.
Signs you may need total hip replacement
Hip pain that limits walking, sleeping or sitting often signals advanced arthritis or AVN.
- Persistent groin or hip pain
- Stiffness after sitting or driving
- Limp while walking
- Difficulty putting on shoes or socks
- Pain disturbing sleep
- Avascular necrosis or arthritis on imaging
How total hip replacement is done in Delhi
Approximately 90 minutes under spinal or general anaesthesia.
- 3D planning of cup and stem placement from CT
- Small incision (8–10 cm) via direct anterior or posterior approach
- Robotic arm guides bone preparation precisely
- Implant placed; leg length verified in real time
- Wound closed and patient mobilised same day
Benefits of total hip replacement
Smaller scar, equal leg length, lower dislocation risk and faster recovery.
- Sub-millimetre cup and stem placement
- Equal leg length post-op
- Accurate implant positioning to reduce dislocation risk
- Walk same day in many cases
- Smaller incision, faster wound healing
- Long-lasting implant (20+ years)
