Total Hip Replacement (THR)
An arthritic or avascular hip is replaced with a prosthetic ball-and-socket assembly — relieving constant groin pain and bringing back smooth walking, sitting and active independence.
What is Total Hip Replacement (THR)?
Total Hip Replacement, technically called Total Hip Arthroplasty, replaces a diseased hip joint with a prosthetic acetabular cup and femoral stem-and-head assembly. The procedure is the established treatment for advanced hip osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis of the femoral head, inflammatory arthropathies and post-traumatic hip damage. Dr. Hithesh performs total hip replacement in Hyderabad using cementless titanium and ceramic-bearing constructs, allowing patients to enjoy a smooth, stable and pain-free hip joint that supports an active lifestyle for two decades or more.
Suitable when chronic hip arthritis, avascular necrosis or post-traumatic damage causes constant pain, sleep disturbance and walking difficulty unrelieved by physiotherapy, painkillers or hip joint injections.
How the Procedure Works
Anaesthesia & Positioning
Spinal or general anaesthesia is delivered; the patient is positioned in lateral decubitus or supine for safe joint access.
Hip Joint Exposure
Posterior, anterior or lateral approach is selected based on anatomy; soft tissues are protected to maximise long-term stability.
Femoral Head Resection
The arthritic femoral head is removed and the acetabular socket is precisely reamed to fit the prosthetic cup.
Implant Insertion
Acetabular cup and liner are positioned; the femoral canal is broached; stem and ceramic head are inserted accurately.
Trial Reduction & Closure
Stability and limb length are confirmed with trial reduction; final fixation is achieved; layered closure begins next-day mobilisation.
Outcomes
Who Needs This Treatment?
- →
Relieves constant deep groin, buttock and thigh pain reliably
- →
Restores comfortable walking, climbing, sitting and standing positions
- →
Equalises shortened limb length caused by arthritis or AVN

Total hip replacement is one of the most rewarding operations in medicine. Few procedures take a patient from constant disabling pain to walking freely within a week — and keep them that way for twenty years.
