The hip is one of the body’s largest joints. It plays an important role in movement and maintaining balance. It also supports weight while we are standing, sitting, running, or walking. The Hip Joint is a ball and socket joint. It is made up of two parts. The first is the hip socket and the other is the thigh bone called the femur. A smooth material called cartilage lines the socket, allowing the ball to move smoothly inside the socket.
In a diseased hip, the cartilage wears out resulting in the bone to bone contact that can be painful.
The first choice is mostly non-operative which includes weight loss, exercise, medication, injections, or bracing. Surgery is the next option when non-operative treatments have exhausted and symptoms still persist and quality of life is compromised with features like-
There are many options possible in hip replacement surgery. There are different types of bearing options and stem options available.
Bearing affects your hip’s mobility, flexibility, and range of motion, as well as how the implant will stand up over time and how stable it will be in your body. Bearings can be made of ceramic or polyethylene (medical-grade plastic). At Elite Orthopaedics, we use the best in class bearing options that are proven to withstand the demand of your lifestyle.
Ceramic technology offers much lower wear than metal on metal or poly components- meaning longer-lasting and avoiding debris that can be harmful to the body. Lots of concerns over metal ions having carcinogenic properties, not suitable for young pregnant women, metal ions causing allergies, etc have come up worldwide in recent times-ceramics don’t have this issue. The material used is “Delta ceramic which is the new generation advanced ceramic technology and is up to 30 times as hard as the previous ones, overcoming concerns of cracking or fracture or breakage of the ceramic. The demand today is for an implant that could last a lifetime to avoid revision surgery-a well implanted Ceramic on ceramic with a small stem could potentially deliver that without compromising on a range of motion and stability.
It is indeed the hip for the Lifetime

Tissue sparing approach
As it does not require muscular attachment resection, the least pain, fast recovery & back to normal life. The combination of an Anterior approach with a short stem achieves both objectives of bone & soft tissue preservation. Short Stem system is a total hip system consisting of porous-coated titanium alloy and easy-to-use instrumentation.
Minimally invasive hip replacement allows your surgeons to implant traditional hip components through one or two small(1.5 to 4 inch) incisions. The goal of minimally invasive hip replacement is to minimize the amount of soft tissue damage that occurs when a surgeon reconstructs a hip. The potential benefits of this approach include:
It is an exclusive bearing combination of oxinium and highly cross-linked polyethylene which provides low wear, high flexibility, and real-life results. It is the best option for metal allergy patients to restore an active lifestyle.
As with all surgeries, there are a number of things that the hospital will ask you to do to contribute to the success of the operation.
