What is Total Hip Replacement (THR)?

✔ Osteoarthritis – The most common reason for hip replacement
✔ Rheumatoid arthritis – Chronic inflammation affecting the hip joint
✔ Hip fractures – Severe injuries requiring surgical intervention
✔ Avascular necrosis – Bone death due to lack of blood supply
✔ Congenital Hip Disorders – Structural abnormalities present from birth
Total Hip Replacement Procedure: Step-by-Step
1️⃣ Pre-Surgical Preparation: Comprehensive evaluation, imaging tests, and patient counseling.
2️⃣ Anesthesia Administration: General or spinal anesthesia for pain management.
3️⃣ Removal of the Damaged Joint: Diseased cartilage and bone are carefully removed.
4️⃣ Implant Placement: A high-quality prosthetic socket and ball are inserted.
5️⃣ Closure & Recovery: The incision is sutured, and initial rehabilitation begins.
Dr. Soumya Chakraborty utilizes the latest minimally invasive techniques, reducing recovery time and post-surgical discomfort.
