Hip Replacement Surgery in Jaipur

Hip Replacement Surgery, also known as Hip Arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure in which the damaged or diseased hip joint is replaced with an artificial prosthetic implant. The hip joint is a ball-and-socket joint where the head of the femur (thigh bone) articulates with the acetabulum (socket) of the pelvis. When arthritis, injury, or disease damages this joint, it can cause debilitating pain, stiffness, and loss of mobility that significantly impacts quality of life.

Dr. Hemendra Agrawal performs both total hip replacement (replacing both the ball and socket) and hemiarthroplasty (replacing only the femoral head, commonly done for hip fractures in elderly patients). He utilizes advanced bearing surfaces including ceramic-on-ceramic, ceramic-on-polyethylene, and oxidized zirconium-on-polyethylene, selecting the optimal combination based on each patient's age, activity level, and anatomy.

Using the direct anterior approach when appropriate, Dr. Agrawal performs hip replacement through a muscle-sparing technique that accesses the hip joint between muscles rather than cutting through them. This approach allows faster recovery, reduced risk of dislocation, less post-operative pain, and earlier return to normal activities compared to traditional posterior or lateral approaches.

Advanced uncemented (press-fit) implants with porous-coated surfaces encourage biological bone ingrowth, providing long-term fixation without cement. For elderly patients with poor bone quality, cemented fixation provides immediate stability. Dr. Agrawal's comprehensive approach — from pre-operative optimization through rehabilitation — ensures optimal outcomes for every patient.
