Hip Replacement Surgery

At Westminster Multi Specialty Clinic in Dubai Healthcare City, our Orthopedics Department provides expert care for patients experiencing severe hip pain and mobility challenges. Hip replacement surgery can significantly reduce discomfort, restore function, and allow patients to return to daily activities with confidence.

Depending on the extent of joint damage, patients may undergo either partial (replacing only the ball of the hip joint) or total hip replacement (replacing both the ball and socket). Learn more about our full Orthopedic Services.

Understanding Hip Replacement

Hip replacement surgery involves removing damaged portions of the hip joint and replacing them with prosthetic components made from durable metal, ceramic, or high-grade plastic. This procedure is typically recommended when arthritis, injury, or other joint disorders severely limit movement and cause chronic pain.

  • Partial hip replacement: Replacement of only the femoral head (the ball of the hip).
  • Total hip replacement: Both the femoral head and the acetabulum (hip socket) are replaced for complete joint restoration.

Both approaches aim to relieve pain, improve mobility, and enhance quality of life.

Signs You May Need Hip Replacement

You may be a candidate for surgery if you notice:

  • Persistent hip pain that limits walking, bending, or standing
  • Stiffness making it difficult to move the leg or rotate the hip
  • Pain that continues even while resting or sleeping
  • Reduced range of motion despite physiotherapy or medication
  • Difficulty with daily tasks such as dressing or climbing stairs
  • Hip pain caused by arthritis, fractures, or long-term joint damage
