Understanding Hip Replacement Surgery
Total hip replacement (hip arthroplasty) is a surgical procedure where damaged portions of the hip joint are removed and replaced with artificial components (prosthesis). The hip joint is a ball-and-socket joint where the femoral head (ball) fits into the acetabulum (socket) of the pelvis.
When is Hip Replacement Needed?

Direct Anterior Approach (DAA) Hip Replacement
Dr. Sharma's Preferred Minimally Invasive Technique
What Makes DAA Superior?
The Direct Anterior Approach is a revolutionary muscle-sparing technique where the hip joint is accessed from the front (anterior) of the thigh, navigating between muscles rather than cutting through them. This approach utilizes the natural interval between muscles, preserving their integrity and function.
Key Advantages of DAA:
- ✅ Muscle Preservation: No major muscles are cut or detached, maintaining hip stability
- ✅ Lower Dislocation Risk: 0.5-1% vs. 3-5% with posterior approach
- ✅ Faster Recovery: Most patients walk the same day of surgery with walker support
- ✅ Less Pain: Minimal muscle trauma results in significantly reduced post-operative pain
- ✅ Better Hip Function: Preserved muscle strength enables quicker return to activities
- ✅ Smaller Incision: 8-10cm incision with superior cosmetic results
- ✅ No Hip Precautions: Patients can bend and move freely without strict position restrictions
- ✅ Shorter Hospital Stay: Typically 2-3 days vs. 4-5 days with traditional approaches
Who Benefits Most from DAA?
- Younger, active patients seeking quick return to work/sports
- Patients concerned about hip dislocation risks
- Individuals requiring bilateral (both hips) replacement
- Those prioritizing faster recovery and minimal restrictions
Dr. Sharma's DAA Expertise:
Dr. Sharma completed specialized fellowship training in DAA hip replacement in Switzerland and Germany, mastering this technically demanding procedure. His extensive experience ensures precise implant positioning, optimal soft tissue handling, and consistently excellent outcomes.
Robotic-Assisted Hip Replacement
Technology-Enhanced Precision Surgery
What is Robotic Hip Replacement?
Robotic-assisted hip replacement uses advanced computer navigation and robotic arm technology to enhance surgical precision. Pre-operative CT scans create a 3D model of the patient's hip anatomy, allowing detailed surgical planning. During surgery, the robotic system guides implant placement with sub-millimeter accuracy.
Advantages of Robotic Technology:
- ✅ Enhanced Precision: Computer-guided implant positioning within 1mm accuracy
- ✅ Customized Planning: Surgery tailored to individual patient anatomy
- ✅ Optimal Alignment: Perfect leg length and hip offset restoration
- ✅ Bone Preservation: Minimal bone removal with precise cuts
- ✅ Longer Implant Life: Perfect positioning extends implant longevity to 25+ years
- ✅ Better Outcomes: Reduced complications and improved functional results
- ✅ Faster Recovery: Reduced surgical trauma accelerates healing
The Robotic Surgery Process:
- Pre-operative Planning: CT scan creates 3D hip model
- Virtual Surgery: Dr. Sharma plans ideal implant size, position, and orientation
- Intra-operative Navigation: Real-time tracking ensures planned positions are achieved
- Robotic Guidance: System guides bone preparation with precision
- Verification: Continuous monitoring confirms accuracy throughout procedure
Dr. Sharma's Robotic Credentials:
Dr. Sharma is among India's few surgeons certified in robotic hip replacement systems. His international training and extensive experience with over 500 robotic-assisted procedures ensure patients receive world-class precision surgery.
DAA vs. Posterior Approach: The Difference
| Aspect | Direct Anterior Approach (DAA) | Posterior Approach (Traditional) |
|---|---|---|
| Muscle Damage | No muscles cut (muscle-sparing) | Gluteal muscles detached and repaired |
| Dislocation Risk | 0.5-1% (very low) | 3-5% (higher risk) |
| Recovery Time | 6-8 weeks | 10-12 weeks |
| Walking Timeline | Same day with walker | Next day with walker |
| Hip Precautions | Minimal to none | Strict for 6-12 weeks |
| Post-op Pain | Lower (no muscle cutting) | Moderate to high |
| Hospital Stay | 2-3 days | 4-5 days |
| Return to Activities | 6-8 weeks | 10-12 weeks |
