Joint Replacements
The hip joint is a ball-and-socket joint that allows the leg and the pelvis to move freely. The socket is located in the pelvis, whereas the ball is made up of the thigh bone (femur). A thin layer of cartilage cushions the joint and prevents bone‑to‑bone contact. Since the hip bears the body's weight, it is likely to experience wear, injuries, and arthritis. As the joint tissue becomes worn out, pain, rigidity, and loss of motion will develop. Over time,...

A degenerative joint disease where the cartilage in the hip wears down, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
Hip osteoarthritis is one of the most common joint diseases, affecting mainly older adults as the protective cartilage covering the hip joint wears down with age. However, it can also occur in younger individuals with a history of hip injuries, developmental hip problems, obesity, or a family history of arthritis. Women are slightly more prone than men, and people with physically demanding jobs or repetitive stress on the hips are at higher risk.
| Condition | Conservative Treatments | Minimally Invasive Treatments | Surgical Treatments |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hip Osteoarthritis | Exercise, weight loss, NSAIDs, pain meds | Joint injections, PRP (limited evidence) | Hip replacement, resurfacing |
| Hip Fractures | Pain control, mobility aids | Casting (rare, only for non-displaced/in young) | Internal fixation (screws, plates), partial/total replacement |
| Hip Dislocation | Analgesics, muscle relaxants | Closed reduction; joint injections for chronic pain | Open reduction, robotic-assisted replacement (complex cases) |
| Hip Dysplasia | Physical therapy, weight management | Bracing (in infants/children) | Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO), total hip replacement |
| Osteonecrosis | Activity changes, NSAIDs, walking aids | Core decompression (early stage) | Bone grafts, vascularized fibula graft, total hip replacement |
| Hip Tumors | Pain control, supportive therapies | Targeted therapy, radiotherapy | Surgical tumor removal, chemotherapy |
Several conditions can affect the hip joint, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Some of the most common hip problems include:
These conditions can result from overuse, injury, structural issues, or age-related degeneration.
Hip pain can have a serious impact on your mobility, independence, and overall quality of life. The good news? Many hip conditions respond well to timely, expert care—especially when managed by a specialist with deep experience.At Chennai Ortho, Dr. S....
