Testimonial by Mrs. Khadija Ismail Hussein

Total right hip replacement (THA) is a surgical procedure that replaces the damaged bone and cartilage of the right hip joint with prosthetic components. It is necessary when the articulating surfaces, the ball and socket, are severely worn out or damaged, leading to debilitating pain, stiffness, and significant loss of mobility that cannot be alleviated by non-surgical treatments. Common indications include severe osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, post-traumatic arthritis, avascular necrosis, and certain hip fractures. The need for THA arises when persistent pain limits daily activities, affecting sleep and quality of life.

Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) is performed under anesthesia, involving an incision to access the hip joint, removal of the damaged femoral head, preparation of the pelvis socket, and implantation of artificial components, typically metal, ceramic, or plastic, to create a functional artificial hip, typically taking 1–2 hours. The surgery aims to restore pain-free movement, improve hip function, and enhance overall mobility, allowing patients to resume normal activities. It offers a chance at a dramatically improved quality of life, reducing reliance on pain medication, increasing independence, and enabling participation in light recreational activities. Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) is one of the most successful and impactful orthopedic procedures.

Mrs. Khadija Ismail Hussein from Tanzania successfully underwent Total right Hip replacement at Yashoda Hospitals, Hyderabad, under the supervision of Dr. Venuthurla Ram Mohan Reddy, Senior Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon.
