Choose Hip Replacement at Be Well Hospitals
Hip replacement, or hip arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure where a damaged or worn-out hip joint is replaced with an artificial implant. This procedure is often recommended for individuals with severe arthritis, hip fractures, or long-term joint damage that limits mobility and causes chronic pain. It can significantly improve quality of life, mobility, and independence.
Total Hip Replacement: The damaged ball-and-socket joint is completely replaced with prosthetic components, including a metal or ceramic ball and a durable socket.
Partial Hip Replacement: Only the femoral head (the ball part of the hip joint) is replaced, commonly used for certain types of hip fractures.
Minimally Invasive Hip Replacement: Uses smaller incisions, causing less muscle damage, leading to shorter hospital stays and faster recovery.
At Be Well, every hip replacement surgery is tailored to the patient's specific needs. Our expert orthopedic surgeons utilize modern techniques and advanced prosthetics to ensure maximum mobility and comfort post-surgery.
Duration: The surgery typically takes 1–2 hours.
Hospital Stay: 2–4 days depending on individual recovery.
Recovery Time: Most patients resume daily activities within 4–6 weeks. Full recovery may take up to 3 months.
When hip pain interferes with daily activities, sleep, or mobility despite medications or therapy, a replacement may be the best solution.
Modern hip implants typically last 15–20 years or more, depending on age, activity level, and implant type.
