Best Hip Replacement Surgery in Ahmedabad - Restoring the Joint That Connects You to Life
The hip is the joint most people take completely for granted until it fails. It carries your body weight with every step, allows you to climb stairs, lower yourself to the floor, sleep comfortably on your side, and turn over in bed at night. When hip arthritis advances to the point where those ordinary things become daily ordeals, hip replacement surgery in Ahmedabad at EPIC Multispecialty Hospital restores what arthritis has progressively taken away.
Our arthroplasty team performs the full range of hip replacement procedures in Ahmedabad – from primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) to complex revision surgery in patients whose previous hip replacement has failed. The delay between when patients should have surgery and when they actually come in is one of the most consistent patterns we see – and one of the things we most want to change.
Types of Hip Replacement Surgery Available at EPIC Hospital, Ahmedabad
- Total hip replacement (THR): both the femoral head (ball) and the acetabulum (socket) are replaced with prosthetic components. Suitable for most patients with advanced hip osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or avascular necrosis of the femoral head
- Partial hip replacement (hemiarthroplasty): only the femoral head is replaced, leaving the natural acetabulum in place – most commonly used for displaced femoral neck fractures in elderly patients
- Hip resurfacing: the femoral head is reshaped and capped rather than removed – an alternative to total hip replacement in younger, active male patients, preserving more bone stock for future revision if needed
- Revision hip replacement surgery in Ahmedabad: for patients whose previous hip replacement has failed due to loosening, periprosthetic infection, bearing surface wear, or implant fracture – technically demanding and requiring specific expertise and implant inventory
What Determines a Good Hip Replacement Outcome
Patients often focus almost entirely on the implant brand when researching hip replacement surgery in Ahmedabad. The implant matters – but it is probably not the most important variable. Surgical technique matters more. The precision with which the acetabular cup is positioned – the angle of inclination and anteversion – has a major impact on hip stability, bearing surface wear, and long-term function. Our surgeons use digital templating and, where appropriate, intraoperative navigation to optimise component position in every case.
Pre-operative optimisation matters too. Patients who are significantly overweight, have poorly controlled diabetes, or are active smokers carry higher complication rates – particularly periprosthetic joint infection. Our pre-operative assessment includes a frank discussion about modifiable risk factors and, where needed, a period of optimisation before surgery.

Best Hip Replacement Surgery in Ahmedabad - Frequently Asked Questions
How long does hip replacement surgery take and what is the recovery?
Surgery itself takes 60 to 90 minutes for a primary total hip replacement. Patients are standing on day one. Most are discharged from EPIC Hospital within 3 to 5 days. Walking without aids typically occurs by 6 weeks. Full functional recovery takes 3 to 6 months, with ongoing improvement for up to a year.
Are there activity restrictions after hip replacement surgery?
In the first 6 to 12 weeks, specific hip precautions apply depending on the surgical approach – restrictions on hip flexion beyond 90 degrees and certain rotational movements, to prevent hip dislocation while the soft tissues heal. After that period, most normal daily activities are unrestricted. Sitting on the floor cross-legged requires specific discussion with your surgeon.
What type of implant is used for hip replacement at EPIC Hospital?
We use implants from established manufacturers with extensive registry follow-up data. The specific components – bearing surface, fixation method, stem design – are selected based on your age, bone quality, activity level, and anatomy. Your surgeon will discuss the specific implant planned for your case and the reasons for that selection.
Is hip replacement surgery safe for patients over 75 years old in Ahmedabad?
Age alone is not a contraindication. Patients in their 70s and 80s frequently have excellent outcomes from hip replacement surgery in Ahmedabad. What matters more than age is overall health, cognitive status, and social support for recovery. Our pre-operative assessment accounts for all of these factors individually.
What is avascular necrosis of the hip and does it require hip replacement?
Avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head – also called osteonecrosis – occurs when the blood supply to the femoral head is disrupted, causing the bone to die and collapse. Early stages may be managed with joint-preserving surgery. Advanced AVN with femoral head collapse typically requires total hip replacement surgery in Ahmedabad. It is more common in India than in Western populations, partly due to higher rates of steroid use.
How much does hip replacement surgery cost in Ahmedabad?
Hip replacement surgery cost in Ahmedabad at EPIC Hospital depends on implant type, surgical approach, length of hospital stay, and insurance coverage. We provide transparent, itemised cost estimates before every planned procedure. Contact our patient services team for a personalised quotation.
What is the difference between hip replacement and hip resurfacing?
In a total hip replacement, the entire femoral head is removed and replaced with a prosthetic ball and stem. In hip resurfacing, the femoral head is preserved – reshaped and capped with a metal covering, with a matching metal socket. Resurfacing preserves more bone stock and may be appropriate for younger, active male patients with good bone quality. The trade-off is a technically demanding procedure with specific anatomical requirements.
When is partial hip replacement (hemiarthroplasty) used instead of total hip replacement?
Hemiarthroplasty is used primarily for displaced femoral neck fractures in elderly patients – when speed of surgery is important, the acetabulum is healthy, and the patient’s life expectancy and activity demands make a full total hip replacement less appropriate. For elective hip arthritis, total hip arthroplasty is the standard.
