Total Hip Replacement (THR) is a surgical procedure designed to relieve pain and restore mobility by replacing the damaged hip joint with a prosthetic implant. This procedure is commonly recommended for patients with severe osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, avascular necrosis (AVN), hip fractures, or other degenerative joint conditions that limit daily activities.
The hip joint is a ball-and-socket joint, where the femoral head (ball) at the top of the thigh bone (femur) fits into the acetabulum (socket) of the pelvic bone. In a total hip replacement, both the damaged femoral head and the acetabulum are replaced with prosthetic components

Cemented Total Hip Replacement is a proven solution for elderly patients with osteoporosis or weakened bone quality. In this procedure, a special bone cement is used to securely fix the implant, ensuring immediate stability and allowing early mobility. For younger patients with strong bones, an uncemented implant may be preferred, as it relies on natural bone growth for long-term fixation.
At Mahi Clinic, cemented hip replacement surgery utilizes high-quality prosthetics made of metal, ceramic and cross-linked plastic components for durability and smooth movement. Our minimally invasive techniques help reduce pain, scarring and recovery time, allowing most patients to walk the next day and return to daily activities within weeks.

Uncemented hip replacement is designed for younger, active individuals with strong bone quality. Unlike cemented implants, this technique allows the bone to grow into the prosthetic, providing a secure and long-lasting fit. It is often recommended for patients with hip fractures or chronic joint conditions, ensuring enhanced mobility and durability.
The success of a total hip replacement depends on multiple factors, including the quality of the implant, surgical expertise, and post-operative care. Various implant materials and configurations are available, such as:
Metal on Polyethylene – A cost-effective option with excellent wear resistance.
Ceramic on Polyethylene – Combines smooth articulation with reduced wear.
Ceramic on Ceramic – Offers superior longevity and minimal friction.
At Mahi Clinic, we assess individual needs and recommend the most suitable implant to optimize long-term results.

Struggling with a failing hip implant? If you're experiencing pain, stiffness, or instability in your replaced hip, a revision hip replacement may be the solution.
This procedure involves removing the damaged prosthesis, addressing bone loss if needed, and implanting a new, specialized prosthetic to restore joint function. Given its complexity, revision surgery requires expert surgical planning to ensure stability, mobility, and long-term success.
Avascular Necrosis (AVN), also known as osteonecrosis, is a condition where the bone tissue in the femoral head (hip joint) dies due to a lack of blood supply. Over time, this leads to bone collapse, joint pain, and loss of mobility. If left untreated, AVN can progress to severe arthritis, making hip replacement surgery necessary.
AVN occurs when the blood flow to the femoral head is disrupted. The most common causes include:
Trauma/Injury – A hip fracture or dislocation can damage blood vessels.
Excessive Steroid Use – Long-term or high-dose corticosteroids can interfere with bone health.
Alcohol Abuse – Excessive alcohol intake affects blood circulation, leading to bone deterioration.
Medical Conditions – Diseases like sickle cell anemia, lupus, and blood clotting disorders increase the risk.
Idiopathic Causes – In some cases, the cause remains unknown.
Gradual onset of hip pain that worsens over time
Pain with movement or weight-bearing (standing, walking, or climbing stairs)
Stiffness and restricted range of motion
Limping due to discomfort
In advanced stages, severe arthritis develops, causing constant pain even at rest
A combination of imaging tests helps confirm AVN:
X-rays – Detects bone collapse in later stages
MRI – Identifies early-stage AVN before bone damage occurs
The treatment depends on the stage of AVN and the severity of bone damage:
Early-Stage AVN (Joint Preservation Techniques)
Medications & Lifestyle Changes – Pain relievers, activity modifications, and avoiding weight-bearing activities
Core Decompression – A surgical procedure where small holes are drilled into the femoral head to reduce pressure, improve blood flow and slow disease progression
Stem Cell Therapy & Bone Grafts – Promote new bone growth and delay joint deterioration
Advanced AVN (Hip Replacement Surgery Required)
Total Hip Replacement (THR) – Recommended when the femoral head collapses, causing severe arthritis. The damaged hip joint is replaced with a prosthetic implant, restoring function and eliminating pain.
If pain persists despite conservative treatments and daily activities become challenging, total hip replacement is the best solution. It offers long-term relief, restores mobility, and improves the patient’s quality of life.
Early detection and treatment of AVN can prevent hip collapse and arthritis. If you're experiencing persistent hip pain, consult Dr. Vijay Kumar Sohanlal at Mahi Clinic to explore your treatment options.
