Total Hip Replacement Surgery
Total Hip Replacement is an advanced orthopedic procedure designed to relieve severe hip pain and restore normal joint movement in patients suffering from hip arthritis or joint damage. At Agastya Hospitals in LB Nagar, Hyderabad, Dr Praveen Reddy P performs total hip replacement surgery using modern orthopedic techniques to improve patient mobility and quality of life.
The hip joint is a ball-and-socket joint that connects the thigh bone to the pelvis and allows smooth movement during walking, sitting, and standing. Over time, the cartilage that protects this joint may deteriorate due to osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, injuries, or age-related degeneration. When cartilage wears away, the bones rub against each other, causing severe pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced mobility.
Total hip replacement surgery involves removing the damaged parts of the hip joint and replacing them with artificial implants made from durable medical-grade materials. These implants replicate the natural movement of the hip joint and help restore stability and function.
Dr Praveen Reddy P uses advanced surgical methods to ensure precise implant placement and improved joint alignment. The goal of hip replacement surgery is to relieve chronic hip pain, restore joint mobility, and help patients return to normal daily activities.
Many patients experience significant pain relief and improved joint function after hip replacement surgery. With proper physiotherapy and rehabilitation, patients can gradually return to walking, climbing stairs, and other routine activities without discomfort.
