What is Hip Replacement Surgery?

Hip Replacement Surgery is a procedure in which a damaged or worn-out hip joint is replaced with an artificial implant (prosthesis). This surgery is most commonly recommended for patients suffering from severe arthritis, fractures, or degenerative joint diseases that no longer respond to medication or conservative treatments. The goal is to eliminate pain, improve joint function, and help patients return to an active, independent lifestyle. As one of Kolkata’s leading orthopedic surgeons, Dr. Soham Mandal specializes in both Total Hip Replacement (THR) and Minimally Invasive Hip Replacement, offering modern solutions with faster recovery and lasting outcomes.

Symptoms & Signs That May Require Hip Replacement

  • Chronic pain in the hip, groin, or thigh—especially while walking or climbing stairs

  • Limited range of motion in the hip joint

  • Limping or difficulty bearing weight on the affected leg

  • Stiffness after rest or prolonged sitting

  • Sleep disturbances due to persistent hip pain

  • Decreased quality of life despite medication or physiotherapy

Treatment Approach

Dr. Mandal’s treatment begins with a thorough evaluation, including physical examination, X-rays, and if needed, MRI to assess the condition of the joint. Depending on the severity of the damage, treatment options may include:

Non-Surgical Management:

Pain medications, physiotherapy, activity modification

Total Hip Replacement (THR)

The damaged ball-and-socket joint is replaced with biocompatible implants

Revision Hip Surgery:

For patients with failed or worn-out previous implants

Minimally Invasive Hip Replacement:

Smaller incisions, less tissue damage, quicker recovery
