Faq

What is hip replacement surgery?

Hip replacement, or arthroplasty, is a procedure where damaged hip joint parts are replaced with artificial implants made of metal, ceramic, or plastic to relieve pain from arthritis or fractures, allowing patients to resume normal activities with improved range of motion and durability lasting 15-20 years.

How long does recovery take after hip surgery?

Recovery typically spans 6-12 weeks for basic mobility, with full activity resumption in 3-6 months; our robotic techniques and rehab programs accelerate this by minimizing trauma and providing guided physiotherapy from day one post-surgery.

Is robotic hip surgery better than traditional methods?

 Yes, robotic-assisted surgery offers superior precision in implant placement, reducing errors by up to 50%, leading to better alignment, less wear, lower dislocation risks, and faster rehabilitation compared to conventional open surgery approaches.

What causes the need for hip revision surgery?

Common causes include implant loosening, wear after 10-15 years, infections, fractures around the prosthesis, or dislocations; our expert revisions address these complexities with custom solutions for renewed function and pain relief.

Can I drive after hip replacement?

Most patients can drive 4-6 weeks post-surgery once cleared by physio, with right hip patients waiting slightly longer; we assess strength, reflexes, and pain levels during follow-ups to ensure safety.

What are risks of pelvic fracture surgery?

Risks include bleeding, infection, nerve injury, or non-union, but our meticulous techniques, advanced imaging, and antibiotics minimize these to under 5%, with high union rates over 95% in experienced hands like Dr. Raju\u2019s.

How to prevent hip arthritis progression?

Maintain healthy weight, exercise regularly with low-impact activities like swimming, strengthen hip muscles, and manage underlying conditions like diabetes; early consultations at our clinic can provide joint preservation options before replacement is needed.

What post-op care is essential after knee replacement?

Essential care includes wound hygiene, ice therapy for swelling, prescribed blood thinners, gradual weight-bearing with walkers, and attending all physio sessions to achieve 90-degree knee flexion within weeks for daily tasks.

Does insurance cover hip surgeries at The Hip Surgeon? Most major insurances cover our procedures; we assist with pre-authorizations, claims processing, and cashless options to make treatment affordable without compromising on quality care delivery.
