Hip replacement surgery involves the insertion of prosthetic implants to replace damaged parts of the hip joint, proving to be a remarkably successful procedure. The Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) outperforms all other institutions in the United States in the number of hip replacement surgeries performed.

What is hip replacement surgery, and how does it work?

Hip replacement surgery entails the removal and replacement of components of the femur and pelvis, constituting the hip joint. Its primary aim is to alleviate pain and stiffness associated with hip arthritis. Additionally, it is utilized to address injuries such as fractures or malformations of the hip, as well as other diseases affecting the joint.

What are the signs that you need a hip replacement?

Hip impingement symptoms can vary in severity, but typically include stiffness in the upper thigh, hip, and groin, often accompanied by pain. Limited range of motion is common, particularly difficulty flexing the hip beyond a straight angle.

Symptoms often worsen after exercise or activity, with twisting or squatting movements leading to sharp or radiating pain. In less severe cases, patients may experience a dull ache during these maneuvers. Prolonged sitting can exacerbate symptoms, and lower back pain may also occur, especially after strenuous activity or during periods of inactivity.

Conservative Treatment Options for Hip Impingement

Today, there’s a range of surgical and nonsurgical therapies for hip impingement, all of which should be discussed with your doctor. Simple lifestyle adjustments can often alleviate pain, stiffness, and discomfort for those with FAI. For instance, individuals experiencing flare-ups after intense physical activity may need to reduce the frequency and intensity of such activities.

For less severe cases, conservative care treatments can sometimes effectively manage FAI symptoms without surgery. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly used to address minor aches and pains.

Similarly, the RICE treatment may be recommended to help alleviate symptoms of hip impingement. RICE, which stands for Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation, is a widely recognized approach for managing inflammation and pain, particularly for individuals experiencing flare-ups after vigorous activity.

What Is Hip Impingement Surgery and What Is FAI Surgery?

If you’re experiencing considerable hip discomfort that isn’t eased by medication and is disrupting your ability to work, sleep, or carry out daily tasks, or if your hip feels stiff, restricting movement and making walking challenging, you may want to consider a hip replacement.

Anatomy of the Hip

The hip joint, a pivotal ball-and-socket structure, comprises the femoral head, resembling a ball atop the femur, and the acetabulum, a concave socket within the pelvis. This anatomical arrangement allows for multidirectional movement, enabling the leg to rotate, advance, retreat, and sidestep with fluidity and flexibility.

What are the many types of hip replacement operations?

The following are the three main types of hip replacements:
  • Hip replacement surgery (most common)
  • Hip replacement (partial)
  • Resurfacing of the hip
Total hip replacement surgery, also known as total hip arthroplasty, involves the use of artificial implants to replace deteriorated or injured components of the hip joint. During the procedure, a durable plastic cup, sometimes encased in titanium metal, replaces the worn-out socket. The head of the femur is then substituted with a ceramic or metal alloy ball, which is affixed to a metal stem inserted into the top of the femur.

Surgical procedures for hip replacement

A total hip replacement can be performed using one of two surgical approaches:
  • The strategy commonly known as the backward approach.
  • The frontal approach (also known as the "mini-anterior approach" or "muscle-sparing hip replacement")
  • Resurfacing of the hip
The hip replacement surgeon will make incisions either on the back (posterior) or front (anterior) of the hip to begin the procedure. Within weeks after surgery, both approaches offer pain relief and enhance walking and mobility.

How long does it take to recover from hip replacement surgery?

Rehabilitation commences within 24 hours post-surgery. Typically, within one to two days following the procedure, hip replacement patients start walking with assistance from a cane, walker, or crutches. Over time, the distance and frequency of walks will gradually increase as part of the recovery process.

When it comes to hip implants, how long do they last?

Typically, a hip replacement prosthesis is expected to endure anywhere from 10 to 20 years, with some lasting even longer.The longevity can vary depending on factors such as the type of implant used and the patient’s age. Hip revision surgery becomes necessary when an implant becomes loose or worn out over time, requiring replacement.
