What is Hip Replacement Surgery and when is it recommended?

Hip replacement is a surgery where the damaged joint is replaced with an implant made of biocompatible materials such as titanium, ceramic, or high-density polyethylene.
This procedure restores a functional joint, eliminating pain caused by wear or injury to the cartilage and bone.

When is Hip Replacement Surgery recommended?
Common causes.

Hip replacement surgery is usually indicated in the following cases:
Advanced osteoarthritis (Cartilage Wear).
Rheumatoid arthritis or other inflammatory diseases.
Hip fractures in older adults.
Avascular Necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head.
Hip Dysplasia or congenital malformations.
Constant pain that does not improve with conservative treatment.
Severe movement limitation affecting daily life.

Pain while walking and other symptoms indicating the need for Hip Replacement.

Signs you might need hip surgery include:
Persistent pain in the groin, thigh, or buttocks.
Difficulty walking, climbing stairs, or standing for long periods.
Limping or instability while walking.
Loss of range of motion.
Reliance on medication to manage pain.

If you have these symptoms, a medical evaluation with our Hip Specialist is the first step toward a definitive solution.

What types of implants are used in Hip Replacement?

There are different types of implants depending on the material and fixation method. Some of the most common are:
Cemented implants: Ideal for patients with lower bone density.
Cementless implants: Integrate with the bone over time, ideal for younger patients.
Hybrid Implants: Combine both fixation methods.
Dual Mobility Implants: Considered the future of hip surgery, with a lifespan of over 20 years.
Short Stem Implants: Designed to preserve more natural bone.
Hip Resurfacing: Used in specific cases where only part of the joint needs replacement.
The choice of implant is determined during the consultation, based on age, activity level, bone quality, and other medical factors.
All implants used by Dr. Raul Lopez Solis are from internationally FDA-approved brands, featuring high-resistance materials and state-of-the-art technology.

Hip Replacement: Procedure and recovery time.

During the procedure, the surgeon removes damaged parts of the joint —usually the femoral head and acetabulum— and replaces them with artificial components.
These can be fixed to the bone with or without bone cement, depending on the case.
Dr. Raul Lopez Solis uses updated surgical techniques that allow for precise, less invasive surgery with better functional results.

What is recovery like after surgery?

Thanks to advances in surgical techniques and rehabilitation protocols, many patients can walk within 24 hours of surgery.
The recovery process includes:
2 to 3-day hospital stay.
Walking within the first 24 to 48 hours.
Supervised physical therapy.
Specific post-op care at home.
Periodic post-op check-ups.
Generally, most patients can gradually resume daily life in a few weeks and fully recover mobility in 2 to 3 months.
