What is Hip Osteoarthritis?
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease where the cartilage that cushions the hip joint gradually wears away. As cartilage thins and disappears, the bones begin rubbing against each other — causing pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
Hip OA typically develops after age 50 but can occur earlier in people with previous hip injuries, congenital hip problems, or a family history. It is progressive — symptoms tend to worsen over years if left untreated.
Symptoms of Hip OA
Treatment Options
Conservative Treatment (Early Stage)
Weight loss, physiotherapy, walking aids, anti-inflammatory medication, and joint injections (hyaluronic acid or corticosteroids). These manage symptoms but do not reverse cartilage damage.
When to Consider Surgery
When pain significantly impacts quality of life, sleep, and daily activities — and conservative measures no longer provide adequate relief.
Total Hip Replacement
The gold standard for advanced hip OA. Dr. Gupta replaces the damaged joint with a prosthesis — walk same day, home in 2–3 days, pain-free in 6 weeks.
