A hip replacement is a common type of surgery where a damaged hip joint is replaced with an artificial one (known as an implant).
As Hip replacement is major surgery, Dr. Venkatdeep Mohan will first explore all non-surgical options such as physiotherapy, painkillers, lifestyle changes, etc. Dr. Venkatdeep Mohan may recommend a hip replacement surgery if
you have severe pain, swelling and stiffness in your hip joint and your mobility is reduced
your hip pain is so severe that it affects your everyday tasks and sleep.
you're feeling depressed because of the pain and lack of mobility
Total hip replacement is the most common form of hip replacement and involves the removal of the entire hip joint. Both the femoral head and acetabulum, which comprise the ball-and-socket joint are replaced with artificial parts.
The artificial parts may be made from different materials such as plastic, metal, or ceramic and your surgeon will discuss the pros and cons of each type. Cement may be used to hold the artificial parts in place or left uncemented, with natural bone growth holding them in place. In the UK, the vast majority of patients have cemented hip replacement as this option is very successful and allows earlier mobilization.
A partial hip replacement involves replacing the femoral head (ball component of the ball-and-socket joint) with a metal or ceramic implant which is held within the thigh bone (femur). This type of hip replacement is typically performed to repair a hip joint in which there is a fracture of the femoral head.
This is similar to a partial hip replacement but involves less removal of the femoral head. The arthritic surface of the femoral head is shaved down by a few millimetres and reshaped to allow a metal cap to be cemented on. The acetabulum (socket element of the bone-and-socket joint) is left unaltered.
Hip resurfacing is only appropriate for selected patients and your surgeon will advise you whether this is a suitable option for you.

Dr. Venkatdeep Mohan is a very good and care taking doctor. My father is 80 years old, had severe arthritis and he was suggested for a knee replacement. After knee replacement, he recovered really well and is able to be independent. Doctor, thank u very much for your timely support and guidance. The staff in Prime Orthopaedics are very good and helpful.
A very good doctor I have seen. My mother was suffering from knee pain since 10-15 years. He suggested a knee replacement and we followed his guidelines. Now my mother is able to walk normally without any pain. In fact now she have forgot that old knee pain. Thank you doctor.
I have been consulting Dr. Venkatdeep for my mom's knee related issues. He is an excellent doctor. His approach handling the patient is so warm. He listens patiently and comforts them. He outlines the pros and cons of the various treatment options etc. Certainly a gem of a person.
