Hip pain from arthritis, injury, or implant failure can severely affect your quality of life. If walking, climbing stairs, or even sitting becomes painful, Total Hip Replacement Surgery may be the solution you need.
Dr. Karnav Panchal, one of the most trusted orthopedic surgeons in Ahmedabad, provides expert care in Primary and Revision Total Hip Replacement, helping patients regain movement, independence, and a pain-free life.
Total Hip Replacement — also called Total Hip Arthroplasty — is a surgical procedure where the damaged portions of the hip joint (the ball and socket) are removed and replaced with high-quality artificial implants.
It is highly effective for patients suffering from:
Osteoarthritis
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Avascular Necrosis (AVN)
Hip fractures or trauma
Hip deformity or degeneration
Dr. Karnav Panchal uses minimally invasive techniques, modern implants, and computer-assisted technology to deliver precise outcomes with faster recovery.
When it comes to hip surgery, it’s important to distinguish between Primary and Revision Total Hip Replacement, as both serve different purposes and patient needs:
Primary Total Hip Replacement refers to the first-time surgical replacement of a damaged or arthritic hip joint with an artificial implant. It is typically performed when conservative treatments like medication, physiotherapy, or injections no longer provide relief. The goal is to restore mobility, reduce pain, and improve quality of life with a durable, natural-feeling joint.
Revision Total Hip Replacement is a more complex procedure performed when an earlier hip replacement has failed or caused complications such as implant loosening, infection, dislocation, or persistent pain. It involves removing the old implant, correcting bone loss or damage, and replacing it with a new, often specialized prosthesis.
While both surgeries aim to restore hip function and relieve pain, primary hip replacement is typically more straightforward, whereas revision surgery requires advanced surgical expertise due to the challenges of dealing with previous implants and compromised joint structures.
Dr. Karnav Panchal, with his expertise in both primary and complex revision hip surgeries, ensures that every patient receives the right treatment approach for long-lasting results and improved mobility.
Primary Hip Replacement is the first-time surgical replacement of a worn or damaged hip joint. This is typically performed when conservative treatments like medication, physiotherapy, or injections no longer relieve pain.

You may need your first hip replacement surgery if you have:
Severe hip pain that interferes with walking, standing, or daily activities
Diagnosed with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or avascular necrosis (AVN)
Stiffness or limited mobility in the hip joint
Hip deformity or previous trauma causing joint degeneration
No lasting relief from medications, injections, or physiotherapy
You may require a revision hip surgery if you’ve had a previous hip replacement and now experience:
Loosening or wear of the original implant
Persistent or recurring pain in the operated hip
Infection in the joint area
Hip dislocation or instability
Implant breakage or failure
Patients from Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, Surat, Rajkot, Mehsana, Vadodara, and even from Rajasthan and Maharashtra, visit Dr. Panchal for high-quality hip replacement surgery.
Most modern hip implants last 15–25 years, depending on activity levels and implant type.
Patients generally walk with support within 1–2 days and resume daily activities within 4–6 weeks.
Revision surgeries are complex but with proper care, patients recover well. Pain is effectively managed through medication and physiotherapy.
