Hip Replacement Surgery

The hip joint is made up of the ball and socket, where the socket is made of bone and cartilage, and the balls are the top of the thigh bone called the femoral head. Sometimes, any injury to the socket of the hip or even the thigh bond leads to pain, or difficulty with regular tasks, and the pain subsides. To overcome such situations, the hip replacement surgery is the operation that replaces the damaged ball and socket with a new and durable artificial synthetic part which mimics the ball and socket. We at Srikara Hospital, are a team of highly experienced surgeons to help you ease your pain with an affordable and the best hip replacement surgery cost in Hyderabad.

During the hip replacement surgery, Dr. Abhishek Barli, MS (Ortho), will make an incision over the side of the thigh, remove the diseased parts of the hip joint and replace it with the new artificial part. These parts will mimic the way of the typical hip joint works. The piece may be made of any plastic, metal, ceramic, or combination of any of these materials.  Our goals over the hip replacement will include,

Soon after the surgery, we will move the patient to the recovery area for a few hours as your anesthesia will wear off. The medical staff will monitor the blood pressure, alertness, pulse, pain, or comfort level that you need for the medications. If you are in good health condition, you can even go home on the same day. However, our surgeon will advise you to admit to the hospital for one or more nights. You will be under monitoring for breathing deeply, cough or blow into the device to help keep the fluid out of the lungs.
