Total Hip Replacement Surgery in Malaysia

Total Hip Replacement (THR), also known as Total Hip Arthroplasty, is a proven surgical procedure to relieve pain and restore mobility in patients with severe hip damage. At Orthopedic Specialist Malaysia, we provide advanced hip replacement surgery with modern implants, minimally invasive techniques, and personalized rehabilitation to help patients regain their independence.

What is Total Hip Replacement?

Total Hip Replacement involves removing the damaged portions of the hip joint and replacing them with an artificial implant. The artificial hip joint is designed to function like a natural joint, allowing patients to walk, sit, and perform daily activities without pain.

This surgery is recommended when non-surgical treatments such as physiotherapy, medications, or injections no longer provide relief.

Who Needs Hip Replacement Surgery?

You may be a candidate for Total Hip Replacement in Malaysia if you experience:

Severe hip pain limiting daily activities (walking, climbing stairs, bending)
Pain that persists even at rest or during sleep
Stiffness reducing hip mobility
Failure of conservative treatments (medications, physiotherapy, injections)
Hip fractures or bone collapse (avascular necrosis)
Advanced arthritis (osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, post-traumatic arthritis)

Benefits of Total Hip Replacement

Long-term pain relief
Improved joint mobility and flexibility
Restored ability to walk, climb stairs, and perform daily tasks
Better quality of life and independence
Reduced reliance on pain medications or walking aids

The Total Hip Replacement Procedure

1. Pre-Surgery Assessment

X-rays and scans to evaluate hip condition
Medical check-up and optimization of health before surgery

2. Surgical Process

Damaged cartilage and bone are removed
Artificial hip components (prosthesis) are implanted
Procedure takes about 1–2 hours under anesthesia

3. Post-Surgery Care

Pain management and antibiotics
Early physiotherapy for mobility training
Discharge within 3–5 days in most cases

Recovery After Hip Replacement

First few weeks: Use of walking aids, guided physiotherapy
4–6 weeks: Return to light daily activities
3–6 months: Full recovery and improved mobility
Long-term: Hip implants typically last 15–20 years or longer with proper care
