What is Hybrid Total Hip Arthroplasty?
Hybrid Total Hip Arthroplasty is a surgical procedure involving the hip joint. It combines cemented and uncemented techniques to replace the damaged hip joint (where the thigh bone meets the pelvis). The femoral component is typically cemented, while the acetabular component is uncemented. This approach aims to provide stability and long-term durability.
This surgery is often needed for conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or hip fractures. These conditions cause pain and limit mobility. If left untreated, they can lead to severe disability and decreased quality of life. Modern surgical approaches for Hybrid Total Hip Arthroplasty include minimally invasive techniques and computer-assisted surgery. These methods aim to enhance precision and recovery.

Everything you need to know about the procedure, preparation, and recovery
Hybrid Total Hip Arthroplasty Surgery Indications
Doctors recommend Hybrid Total Hip Arthroplasty when patients experience severe hip joint issues that affect daily activities and quality of life. This procedure is often suggested when conservative treatments no longer provide relief.
Severe Osteoarthritis
Patients experience persistent hip pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. X-rays show significant joint space narrowing and bone spurs. When pain medications and physical therapy fail, surgery is considered.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Chronic inflammation leads to hip pain, swelling, and joint deformity. Blood tests reveal elevated inflammatory markers. When disease-modifying drugs and steroids do not control symptoms, surgery may be necessary.
Hip Fractures
Patients suffer from acute pain and inability to bear weight after a fall. X-rays confirm a fracture in the hip joint. If the fracture does not heal with conservative methods, surgery is recommended.
Avascular Necrosis
Patients report hip pain and limited range of motion. MRI scans show bone death due to lack of blood supply. When core decompression and other treatments fail, surgery is advised.
Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip
Patients experience hip instability and pain from childhood. Imaging reveals abnormal hip joint formation. When bracing and physiotherapy do not improve function, surgery becomes an option.
How to Prepare for Hybrid Total Hip Arthroplasty?
Proper preparation for Hybrid Total Hip Arthroplasty can enhance recovery and reduce complications. Following these steps ensures a smoother surgical experience.
- Medication Review: Stop NSAIDs, anticoagulants, and herbal supplements as advised by your doctor.
- Fasting: Do not eat or drink anything for at least 8 hours before the surgery.
- Pre-Surgery Exercises: Engage in pelvic floor exercises to strengthen muscles around the hip.
- Clothing: Wear loose, comfortable clothing on the day of surgery for ease of movement post-operation.
- Transportation: Arrange for someone to drive you home after the procedure.
- Medication List: Bring a list of all medications with dosages to the hospital.
- Home Preparation: Set up a recovery area at home with essentials within easy reach.
- Hospital Communication: Inform the hospital of any changes in health or medications.
Hybrid Total Hip Arthroplasty Surgery (Step-by-Step)
This procedure is performed at Medicover Hospitals Orthopedics Department. It typically lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours and may be performed under general or regional anaesthesia depending on the patient's condition.
- Preparation: The patient is positioned on the operating table. Anaesthesia is administered to ensure comfort and pain-free surgery.
- Incision: A 10-15 cm incision is made over the hip joint. This allows access to the hip joint for the surgery.
- Dislocation and Removal: The femoral head is dislocated from the acetabulum. A curette is used to remove any damaged cartilage and bone.
- Acetabular Component Placement: The acetabulum is prepared and a new socket is placed. A harmonic scalpel may be used for precision cutting.
- Femoral Component Placement: The femur is prepared to fit the new stem. The femoral component is inserted and secured. A bipolar cautery may be used to control bleeding.
- Repositioning and Closure: The new joint is tested for stability. The incision is closed with sutures or staples. A sterile dressing is applied.
- Recovery: The patient is moved to the recovery room. Vital signs are monitored as the anaesthesia wears off.
