Causes of Hip Arthritis

Hip arthritis develops due to multiple factors. Common causes include trauma, avascular necrosis, infection, aging, rheumatoid arthritis, congenital issues, and long-term steroid use. Over time, these conditions damage the joint, making simple movements such as walking, sitting, or climbing stairs painful.

When Surgery Becomes Necessary

Conservative options like medicines, physiotherapy, and injections may provide short-term relief. However, when they fail, hip replacement surgery becomes the most effective choice. This operation not only reduces pain but also improves quality of life by restoring joint function.

Minimally Invasive Hip Procedure (MITHR)

A modern approach, Minimally Invasive Hip Replacement (MITHR), is gaining popularity. It uses smaller incisions and specialized instruments. As a result, patients experience less blood loss, reduced soft tissue damage, faster recovery, and lower postoperative discomfort.
