About this Procedure
A unilateral total hip replacement replaces one damaged hip joint with an artificial one. The NHS explains that both the ball at the top of the thigh bone and the socket in the pelvis are replaced with metal, ceramic or plastic parts. It is one of the most common joint operations, and the NHS says hip replacements are usually very successful, with most people having less pain and better movement.
A hip replacement may be recommended when hip pain and stiffness are having a big effect on your life and other treatments have not worked. The most common reason is osteoarthritis. Other conditions include rheumatoid arthritis and damage to the hip after a fall, injury or accident. Symptoms often include pain when walking or at night, stiffness and difficulty with everyday tasks.
According to the NHS, the operation usually takes about 1 to 2 hours under a spinal anaesthetic (you are awake but numb from the waist down) or a general anaesthetic. Some operations use a minimally invasive approach with smaller cuts, though this is not suitable for everyone. If you are generally fit and the surgery goes well, you can usually go home around 1 to 3 days afterwards, and full recovery takes several months.
