Total Hip Replacement U/L in India starts from 5300 USD

The total cost of treatment varies based on the patient’s diagnosis and the medical facilities selected.

Unilateral hip replacement surgery is performed on patients who have osteoarthritis affecting only one hip or who suffer from damage or infection in a single hip joint. This procedure focuses on treating the affected side while preserving the healthy hip.

Compared to bilateral hip replacement, unilateral hip replacement is generally less complex and requires a shorter surgical and recovery time, as only one hip joint is removed and replaced.

Also known as hip arthroplasty, unilateral hip replacement involves surgically accessing the affected hip joint, removing the damaged bone and cartilage, and replacing it with an artificial implant. The prosthetic joint may be fixed in place using cemented or uncemented techniques, depending on the surgeon’s recommendation and the patient’s condition. In some cases, minimally invasive methods may be used, allowing the procedure to be performed through smaller incisions with reduced tissue disruption.

Unilateral hip replacement surgery is typically considered when non-surgical treatments—such as physical therapy, exercise programs, and pain-relief medications—fail to provide lasting relief from persistent hip pain.

Ideal Candidates for Unilateral Hip Replacement Surgery

Patients may be advised to undergo unilateral hip replacement if they experience:

• Continuous pain in one hip that interferes with walking, standing, or sitting

• Stiffness and reduced movement on one side of the hip

• Hip pain on one side that persists even during rest
