What is Hip Replacement?
Hip replacement (also called hip arthroplasty) is a surgical procedure where a damaged hip joint is replaced with prosthetic components. This is generally done when the hip joint is severely affected by arthritis, fractures, deformity, or previous hip surgeries that have failed.
There are different types, including:
Primary Hip Replacement – replacing the hip joint for the first time.
Complex Hip Replacement – for severe deformities, large bone loss, or complicating medical conditions.
Revision Hip Replacement – when a previous hip replacement has failed, loosened, infected or worn out.

What to Expect – Procedure & Recovery
Here’s a general outline (may vary depending on individual case):
Pre‑operative Evaluation:
Detailed history & physical exam
Imaging (X‑rays, MRI / CT if needed)
Medical fitness check (blood tests, cardio‑pulmonary evaluation)
Surgical Procedure:
Replacement of the hip joint with prosthetic components (cup, ball, stem)
Use of modern implants (cemented / cementless / hybrid) depending on bone quality and patient age
Post‑operative Care:
Hospital stay of a few days
Pain management (medications, regional analgesia)
Early mobilisation with physiotherapy
Gradual increase in activity
Rehabilitation:
Physical therapy focused on restoring range of motion, strengthening muscles around hip
Gait training
Use of assistive devices (walker / cane) initially, then tapering
Long‑Term Outcomes:
Reduced or eliminated hip pain
Improved mobility, ability to do daily tasks
Better quality of life
Risks & Considerations
As with any surgery, there are potential risks:
Infection
Blood clots
Dislocation of the prosthesis
Wear of implants / loosening over time
Leg‑length discrepancy
Wound healing issues
Dr. Dang discusses all risks with patients beforehand, ensures careful surgical technique, and takes preventive measures (e.g. antibiotics, blood thinners, appropriate physical therapy) to minimize them.
