About the Procedure
What is Total Hip Replacement?
Total hip replacement (THR) is a surgical procedure where a damaged or arthritic hip joint is removed and replaced with an artificial implant — a ball-and-socket joint made of ceramic, metal, and polyethylene components.
The surgery removes the worn cartilage and bone from the hip socket (acetabulum) and the top of the thigh bone (femoral head), then places precision-engineered implants that replicate the natural movement of your hip.
At Max Hospital Mohali, Dr. Sandeep Gupta uses robotic-assisted technique for selected patients, ensuring the implant is placed at the exact angle required for your specific anatomy — improving longevity and reducing the risk of dislocation.

FAQ
Common Questions
How long does total hip replacement surgery take?
The surgery takes approximately 60–90 minutes. You will be under spinal or general anaesthesia throughout and will not feel anything.
When can I walk after total hip replacement?
Dr. Sandeep Gupta practices rapid recovery protocols — most patients walk with support within 4–6 hours of surgery. By Day 2–3, you walk independently and most patients are discharged.
How long does a hip replacement last?
Modern ceramic and metal implants last 20–25 years or more. Correct surgical placement (which robotic surgery ensures) is the biggest factor in implant longevity.
What is the recovery time after total hip replacement?
You are up and walking on Day 1. Most patients return home on Day 3. Light activities resume in 4–6 weeks. Full recovery with no restrictions takes 3–6 months.
Is total hip replacement covered under CGHS or insurance?
Yes. Max Hospital Mohali is empanelled with CGHS, ECHS, Ayushman Bharat, and virtually all major insurance providers. Cashless admission is available.
