We have team of super specialist Doctors who are pioneers in these field.Hip Replacements are of two types. ie a Total Hip Replacement & second one is the Birmingham Hip Resurfacing. Modern techniques allow us to replace the diseased human hip with artificial implants which ensure near normal movements and functions. Total hip surgery replaces the diseased and damaged parts of the hip joint with specially designed metal and plastic "ball and socket" parts.

Step 1

The femur, thigh bone, is separated from the pelvis' socket joint.

Step 2

The damaged ball is cut off the femur (thigh bone).

Step 3

Damaged cartilage and bone is removed from the hip socket using a reaming device.

Step 4

A metal shell is pressed into the socket of the pelvic bone. Bone grafts material is used to hold the new socket in place.

Step 5

A special plastic liner is locked into the metal shell and the srtificial socket is complete.

Step 6

Now the doctor finishes the femur implantation. First, the end of the femur is hollowed out and filled with bone cement.

Step 7

The metal implant is placed into the hollowed femur.
