Total Hip Replacement Surgery in Ahmedabad

Total hip replacement (THR) is a proven surgical treatment for severe hip arthritis, avascular necrosis and hip damage that no longer responds to non-surgical care. The damaged ball and socket joint is replaced with a durable artificial implant, giving lasting pain relief and restoring walking, sitting and independent daily life. At Mitra Hospital, Ahmedabad, our hip replacement surgeons offer modern total hip replacement using contemporary implants and surgical approaches tailored to your age, activity level and hip anatomy.

When Is Total Hip Replacement Needed?

Total hip replacement is usually recommended when hip pain and stiffness begin to interfere significantly with daily life and non-surgical treatments have stopped providing relief. The most common reasons for hip replacement include osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head, rheumatoid arthritis, hip fractures in older adults, and hip damage from previous injury.

Post traumatic hip arthritis
Femoral neck fractures in older patients
Developmental hip dysplasia in adults
Failed previous hip surgery (revision case)

What Happens During Hip Replacement Surgery

During total hip replacement, the damaged ball (femoral head) is removed and replaced with a metal or ceramic ball attached to a stem placed inside the thigh bone. The damaged socket (acetabulum) is resurfaced and lined with a durable liner. The result is a smooth, artificial ball and socket joint that restores pain free movement. Modern hip implants use advanced bearing surfaces designed for long term function and are chosen based on your age, bone quality and activity level.

Recovery & Rehabilitation

Most patients stand and walk with support within 24 hours of hip replacement and are discharged in 3–5 days. Guided physiotherapy starts on day one to safely restore hip motion, strength and walking pattern. Most people return to walking without support in 4–6 weeks and to routine daily activities, travel and light social life by 8–12 weeks. Higher demand activities and full recovery generally take 3–6 months. Your surgeon will guide you on precautions to protect the new hip during recovery.

How much does total hip replacement surgery cost in Ahmedabad?

The cost of total hip replacement in Ahmedabad depends on the implant used (metal, ceramic or hybrid), your room category, length of stay, imaging, and any coexisting medical conditions. Mitra Hospital provides a written cost estimate after your consultation and helps you check insurance cashless eligibility.

How long does a hip replacement last?

Modern hip implants are engineered for long term function. With contemporary bearing surfaces and correct surgical technique, many patients enjoy 20+ years of pain-free function from their hip replacement, depending on age, activity and body weight.

Can hip replacement be done in both hips at the same time?

Yes, in selected patients bilateral hip replacement (both hips in a single sitting) is possible. It is generally considered for younger, medically fit patients with severe arthritis in both hips. Your surgeon will assess whether this is safe for you or whether a staged approach is better.

Will I be able to sit cross-legged after hip replacement?

Most patients regain enough hip motion after modern total hip replacement to sit on the floor and use Indian style toilets after full recovery but with certain precautions during the first 3 months. Your surgeon will guide you on which movements to avoid initially and when it is safe to resume floor sitting.
