About the Procedure
What is Total Hip Replacement?
Total Hip Replacement (THR) is a surgical procedure in which a damaged or arthritic hip joint is replaced with an artificial implant made of metal, ceramic, or high-grade plastic components. It is commonly recommended for patients with severe hip osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis, or fracture-related joint damage who have not responded to conservative treatment. The procedure relieves pain, restores mobility, and significantly improves quality of life.
Who may be considered?
Total Hip Replacement may be considered after a qualified specialist reviews your reports and medical history. Suitability varies from person to person and must be assessed by your treating doctor.
How does it work?
A well-established surgical technique using a posterior or lateral incision to remove the damaged joint surfaces and implant prosthetic components, offering excellent long-term outcomes.
2 approaches available for this procedure:
Conventional Total Hip Replacement
Most PopularA well-established surgical technique using a posterior or lateral incision to remove the damaged joint surfaces and implant prosthetic components, offering excellent long-term outcomes.
Comprehensive Investigations
Estimated cost: $200 - $500
X-ray of hip and pelvis, MRI, CBC, blood sugar, kidney and liver function tests, ECG, echocardiogram, blood grouping, coagulation profile
Treatment / Procedure Estimate
Estimated cost in India: $5,500 - $7,500
Stay in India
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~1-2 days
Hospitalisation: ~5-6 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~14-21 days recommended
Total stay: approx 21-28 days
Usually Included in Hospital Package
- Surgeon and anesthetist fees
- Implant cost (standard prosthesis)
- Operation theatre and ICU charges
- Standard hospital room stay
- Physiotherapy sessions during admission
- Post-operative medications during stay
Usually Not Included
- Flights and visa fees
- Hotel/guesthouse accommodation before/after admission
- Advanced/premium implant upgrade
- Long-term outpatient physiotherapy
- Local transport and interpreter services
Recovery and follow-up
Most patients begin walking with a walker or crutches within 24-48 hours after surgery, followed by a structured physiotherapy program over 6-12 weeks to restore strength and range of motion. Full recovery and return to normal activities typically takes 2-3 months, with periodic follow-up X-rays to monitor implant positioning.
Risks
As with any major joint surgery, risks include infection, blood clots (DVT), implant loosening or dislocation, leg length discrepancy, and reactions to anesthesia, though these are minimized with experienced surgical teams and modern implants.
Alternatives
Non-surgical options such as weight management, physiotherapy, anti-inflammatory medications, and intra-articular injections may delay the need for surgery in early-stage arthritis, while hip resurfacing or partial (hemi) hip replacement may be considered in select younger or specific-fracture cases.

Common questions
FAQs about Total Hip Replacement in Bengaluru, India
What is Hip Osteoarthritis?
Hip osteoarthritis is a degenerative condition in which the articular cartilage inside the hip joint wears down over time, causing the bones to move with less cushioning and eventually leading to pain, inflammation, and loss of joint function.
What are the symptoms and health risks of Hip Osteoarthritis?
The most common symptoms include a deep aching pain in the groin, outer thigh, or buttock that worsens with activity or after prolonged rest, progressive stiffness that limits the hip's range of motion, and in advanced cases a grinding or catching sensation in the joint. Some people also notice that the affected leg feels shorter or that they have begun to walk with a limp. These symptoms can overlap with other hip and lower-back conditions, so symptoms alone are not sufficient to establish a diagnosis.
How is Hip Osteoarthritis diagnosed?
Diagnosis typically begins with a detailed clinical history and a physical examination in which a clinician assesses hip range of motion, gait, and specific pain-provocation tests. Weight-bearing X-rays of the hip are the standard imaging investigation and can reveal characteristic changes such as joint-space narrowing, subchondral sclerosis, osteophyte formation, and cyst-like lesions; these findings are often graded using the Kellgren-Lawrence scale (grades 0–4) to help quantify severity. In some cases, MRI or CT scanning may be requested to evaluate soft-tissue involvement or to plan a surgical procedure, and a clinician may also consider blood tests or joint-fluid analysis to rule out inflammatory or infectious arthritis.
How is Hip Osteoarthritis treated?
Treatment is tailored to the severity of joint involvement, the individual's age, activity level, overall health, and personal goals, and it ranges from conservative measures through to surgical intervention. Mild-to-moderate osteoarthritis is most commonly managed without surgery, using a structured combination of physical therapy, weight management, activity modification, and analgesic or anti-inflammatory medications. When cartilage loss is severe and quality of life is substantially impaired despite conservative care, a total hip replacement—in which the damaged joint surfaces are replaced with prosthetic components—is the established surgical option available through this directory.
Can Hip Osteoarthritis be treated without a procedure?
Non-surgical management plays an important role for many patients, particularly those with early or moderate disease, and typically includes a supervised physiotherapy programme to strengthen the muscles supporting the hip, low-impact aerobic exercise, weight reduction where appropriate, oral analgesics or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and intra-articular corticosteroid injections to provide short-term pain relief. Walking aids and activity modifications can also reduce mechanical load on the joint. The appropriateness, dosing, and duration of any medication or injection therapy must be determined by a qualified clinician based on an individual assessment.
When is Total Hip Replacement considered for Hip Osteoarthritis?
Total Hip Replacement may be considered only when it is appropriate for the confirmed diagnosis and the expected benefit outweighs the individual risks. The decision may depend on symptom severity, investigation results, previous treatment, overall health and the patient's goals. A specialist should discuss alternatives and recovery before any procedure is planned.
Which doctor treats Hip Osteoarthritis?
Hip osteoarthritis is primarily evaluated and managed by an orthopedic surgeon, who can oversee both non-surgical care and, when indicated, surgical planning for total hip replacement. A rheumatologist may also be involved, particularly when the diagnosis is uncertain or when inflammatory joint conditions need to be excluded or co-managed.
How do I choose a doctor for Hip Osteoarthritis?
When selecting a specialist for hip osteoarthritis, it is worth comparing the clinician's specific experience with hip-preservation and hip-replacement procedures, their affiliation with a facility that offers pre-operative physiotherapy and post-operative rehabilitation, and the clarity and structure of their follow-up programme, since recovery from total hip replacement typically requires several months of guided rehabilitation.
What documents do international patients need to share for a medical evaluation?
Share a concise medical summary, symptom timeline, previous diagnoses, investigation and imaging reports, procedure or biopsy reports where relevant, current medicines, allergies and related treatment records. Provide clear copies with translations when needed. The reviewing doctor may request additional information before giving an opinion.
How does GAF Healthcare help international patients plan treatment in India?
Our care coordination team can review the initial information, help identify suitable doctors and hospitals, request a medical opinion where available, explain next steps and indicative cost information, and support practical planning before travel. A remote opinion does not replace an in-person examination or emergency care.
