Hip Surgeries

Hip Surgeries The hip is one of the body's largest joints, located at the junction of the three bones that make up the pelvis. It consists of the hip socket or pit (acetabulum) and the spherical femoral head (caput femoris) that fits into it. The ball joint allows the femur to be moved in all directions. The hip joint plays a vital role in everyday motion, whether it's walking, running, climbing stairs, thus, it is exposed to significant strain throughout our lives.

Hip Replacement Surgery

Hip replacement surgery is one of the most common orthopedic surgical procedures, during which the hip joint is replaced with a prosthetic implant, known as a hip prosthesis. The surgery can be performed as either a total hip replacement or a partial hip replacement. In a total hip replacement, both the acetabulum (hip socket) and the femoral head are replaced, while in a partial hip replacement, usually only the femoral head is replaced.

Hip replacement surgery is most often recommended when hip osteoarthritis (degenerative joint disease) has progressed to the point that previous treatments can no longer relieve the patient's pain, and daily activities become significantly impaired.

Osteoarthritis of the hip is a chronic condition where the cartilage covering the surfaces of the hip socket and/or the femoral head gradually deteriorates, becoming thinner, cracked, or fragmented. In some cases, the cartilage may even detach, leaving areas of the joint exposed without protective cartilage. Beyond the cartilage surface, the underlying bone structure can also be affected by this degenerative process.

In addition to cartilage wear, hip replacement surgery may also be indicated in cases of inflammation, fractures of the femoral neck or head, or trauma-related injuries.

Procedure Overview:

The most advanced minimally invasive surgical technique is used for the procedure, where the surgery is performed without cutting through the muscle, using a muscle-sparing approach. Thanks to this less invasive method, post-operative rehabilitation is faster and involves less pain.

During the hip replacement procedure, the surgeon removes the damaged femoral head from the femur (thigh bone) and prepares the acetabulum (hip socket) by cleaning and reshaping it. A metal, hemispherical cup is implanted into the acetabulum, and a metal stem is inserted into the femoral canal.

A plastic liner is placed inside the metal cup, and both the liner and the metal stem of the prosthesis can be secured using one of two methods, distinguishing between two types of prostheses:

  • Cemented (adhesive) fixation: The prosthesis is fixed to the bone surface with fast-setting "bone cement."

  • Cementless fixation: In this method, the body naturally secures the prosthesis as bone tissue grows onto the prosthesis over time. This process typically requires 4-6 weeks, along with gradual weight-bearing and regular physiotherapy.

Following hip replacement surgery, the patient's hip joint can regain full mobility and become pain-free.

The cost of hip replacement surgery includes a 3-day hospital stay and post-operative rehabilitation, but it does not include the price of the prosthetic implant itself. If a special implant is required, its price may differ from the one listed in the standard price list.

For hip revision surgery (replacement of an existing hip prosthesis), a personalized quote will be provided.
