What Happens During Total Hip Replacement?
Total hip replacement surgery can be performed using two main approaches, both designed to relieve pain and improve mobility within weeks of the procedure:
In both approaches, the orthopedic surgeon carefully replaces the damaged hip joint with prosthetic implants. The procedure typically takes about an hour and a half. After surgery, you’ll stay in the recovery room, with most patients discharged within one or two days, depending on individual recovery needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick and helpful answers to common inquiries.
How Do I Know If I Need Total Hip Replacement Surgery?
Do you have hip stiffness that makes walking and movement difficult for you? Do you have persistent hip pain that interferes with your daily activities and does not go away even after medication, or rehabilitation like physical therapy?
Once the conservative methods have been tested and tried, with no positive results, it might be time to book an appointment with a Miami orthopedic surgeon at Ceda Orthopedic Group for advice and guidance.
What Is The Recovery Process After Total Hip Replacement?
The rehabilitation process will begin in the first 24 hours after surgery if there are no complications. You may need to walk with either a cane, crutches, or walker for the first two days and increase the distance you cover gradually.
The orthopedic surgeons at Ceda Orthopedic Group usually recommend medication to manage your post-surgery pains and recommend physical therapy within 24 hours after the surgery. Patients should continue with the physical therapy for 6 to 8 weeks after surgery until their surgeon has advised that it’s no longer needed.
What Are The Hip Implants Made Out Of?
The surgery involves placing three different implants on your hip. These are the stem, socket, and ball.
- The stem has a safe metal for your body organs that is either titanium or cobalt chrome. The surgeon inserts the metal into your natural thighbone.
- The socket consists of two materials combined. Plastic linear combines with a titanium backing or cobalt chrome to make it stronger and effective.
- The ball is made in a specific way to fit at the stem’s top and has polished metal or, in some cases, ceramic.
These materials are strong and made to last for 10 to 20 years and sometimes longer depending on your age and the implant type. However, if you must have surgery to replace a loosened, torn, or worn-out implant, the procedure is hip revision surgery.
Is It Possible To Have Both Hips Replaced In One Surgery?
Yes, you can; it will, however, depend on your age and health if you are below 75 years and have no other existing medical conditions like a cardiopulmonary disease. However, your orthopedic will recommend you to stage the surgeries.
What Role Does An Orthopedic Surgeon Play In Total Hip Replacement?
Your orthopedic will recommend the surgery after a series of medication and physical therapy to manage the condition fails. The orthopedic will also choose an appropriate surgery approach and perform it too. Your Orthopedic will do the follow-up treatment and monitor your recovery process. Additionally, they will recommend the right implants depending on your age and any allergic conditions.
