Your Questions Answered

Why Do I Need Hip Replacement Surgery?

It’s typically needed when severe arthritis, injury, or wear damages your hip joint, causing pain and limiting movement. The surgery replaces the damaged joint with an artificial implant to relieve pain and restore function. Your doctor will recommend it based on your pain level and mobility issues.

How Do They Do It?

Pre-Surgical Assessment

X-rays and physical exams evaluate your hip and plan the implant size.

Anesthesia

General or spinal anesthesia keeps you pain-free during the procedure.

Surgical Procedure

Surgeons remove the damaged hip joint and install a prosthetic implant.

Closing & Recovery

The incision is closed with stitches, followed by hospital recovery monitoring.

The surgery usually takes 1-2 hours. Your surgeon will detail the process during consultation.

What Could Go Wrong?

Hip replacement is generally safe with skilled surgeons, but risks include:

Infection at the incision site

Blood clots or bleeding

Implant loosening or dislocation

Nerve or blood vessel injury

Less than 2% of patients face major complications. SB Medical Travels partners with top hospitals to reduce risks and ensure optimal results.

How Do I Get Ready?

Proper preparation enhances your surgery and recovery experience:

Before Surgery:

  • Fast for 6-8 hours before surgery if under general anesthesia

  • Consult your doctor about medications; some may need to be paused

  • Pack loose clothing and prepare mobility aids like crutches

  • Arrange for someone to assist and drive you home post-surgery

SB Medical Travels offers a comprehensive pre-surgery checklist and personalized support for your preparation.
