HIP replacement surgery
Discover the right procedure for your needs
TOTAL HIP REPLACEMENT
Hip replacement represents the only effective treatment in cases of advanced degeneration of the hip joint.
It involves the surgical replacement of the damaged articular surfaces of the femoral head and the acetabulum (hip socket) with artificial components, in order to restore smooth movement, reduce pain, and replicate the natural function of the hip joint as closely as possible.
The total prosthesis is made up of several components:
The acetabular component replaces the hip socket (acetabulum). It is fixed into the pelvic bone after removing the damaged cartilage, providing a stable base for the artificial joint.
ACETABULAR COMPONENT
The acetabular liner is placed inside the acetabular component. It acts as a smooth, low-friction surface, allowing the femoral head to move comfortably and reducing wear.
ACETABULAR LINER
The femoral head is the ball component that replaces the natural head of the femur. It fits into the liner and enables smooth, natural hip movements.
FEMORAL HEAD
The femoral stem is inserted into the thigh bone (femur). It provides strong support and stability, anchoring the entire prosthesis in place.

BEFORE THE SURGERY
Before surgery, your doctor will advise essential tests such as blood work, ECG, and hip X-rays to assess your overall health and fitness for the procedure.
​
If you have chronic conditions (cardiac, respiratory, or renal), a specialist consultation may be required.
​
Prepare your home in advance to ensure a safe recovery after hip replacement, especially to reduce the risk of falls or sudden hip movements.
​
Carry with you:
Medical reports, list of current medications, identity documents, health card, and any assistive devices (walker, crutches, or walking stick).
​
Surgery duration may vary. You will be closely cared for by the medical and nursing team throughout the hip replacement procedure.
YOUR NEW JOINT
Total hip replacement surgery has become a very common and safe procedure for treating a severely damaged hip joint. In fact, it has been successfully performed by orthopedic surgeons for several decades.
Patients who undergo total hip replacement may experience significant benefits, including: Relief from chronic hip pain, Improved mobility and range of motion, Better walking ability and posture, Enhanced quality of life, Ability to return to daily activities with greater comfort
REDUCTION IN HIP PAIN
Hip pain may be significantly reduced or completely relieved after surgery.
REGAINING MOBILITY
You may regain smooth movement and improved flexibility with your new hip joint.
IMPROVEMENT IN QUALITY OF LIFE
Your daily activities and social life may no longer be limited by hip pain and restricted movement.
Metal hypersensitivity can occur due to prolonged exposure to certain implant materials, affecting nearly 10%–15% of the population. In hip replacement, choosing a biocompatible stem plays a key role in reducing this risk and ensuring long-term comfort.
ASK FOR HA COATING IMPLANT
In hip replacement surgery, selecting the right implant material plays a crucial role in reducing the risk of adverse reactions and ensuring long-term success.
​
The PLUS fit ALPHA stem is designed using biocompatible Ti6Al4V material with a double-coated HA surface, promoting strong bone integration and improved acceptance by the body.
​
This advanced design helps support stable fixation, reduced complications, and enhanced patient comfort, making it a reliable choice for modern hip replacement.
