Hip Replacement

Hip replacement, also called total hip arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure to replace a worn out or damaged hip with an artificial joint (prosthesis). This surgery may be considered following a hip fracture (breaking of the bone) or for someone who has severe pain due to arthritis

Hundreds of thousands of artificial hip replacement surgeries are performed yearly. Hip replacement may become necessary if activities such as walking, sitting, or even resting become painful.

The goal of hip replacement surgery is to replace the parts of the hip joint that have been damaged, and to relieve hip pain that cannot be controlled by other treatments.

The Department of Hip Arthroplasty At MIOT Hospitals performs Total Hip Replacement and Revision surgery of the hip. MIOT is a pioneer in hip surgery in India. Prof. Dr. P.V.A. Mohandas, founder of MIOT, carried out the first Total Hip Replacement in India, in the early 70’s. MIOT has the richest experience in joint arthroplasty, having performed over 20,000 such operations in the last thirty years.

All our operations are performed using minimally invasive techniques. This means that patients walk within hours of their surgery and their recovery is faster. We have a team of dedicated joint replacement surgeons who perform not only straight forward primary joint replacement surgery but also complicated acetabular reconstruction, correction of congenital deformities and lengthening of the limb in a diseased hip. These surgeons have trained in hospitals dedicated to joint arthroplasty in USA, Germany, Switzerland, U.K., Italy and Australia. They have performed joint arthroplasty exclusively for the last five years, making them masters of this art.
