Partial Hip Replacement Surgery Cost in India

The cost of partial hip replacement surgery in India typically ranges from $4,000 to $7,500 USD, depending on the hospital, city, and type of procedure.

A partial hip replacement (hemiarthroplasty) replaces only the ball of the hip joint. It is usually done after a hip fracture. The cost depends on:

• Implant: cemented or uncemented; unipolar or bipolar.
• Emergency surgery
• Hospital stay and rehabilitation
• Other health conditions

Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust explains it is usually done after a hip fracture that has cut off the blood supply to the ball. The socket is left in place. Fitter, more active patients may be offered a total hip replacement instead.

The Royal Berkshire leaflet advises putting as much weight on the leg as you can tolerate, starting with a walking frame. Avoid crossing your legs for at least 6 weeks because of a small dislocation risk. Swelling can last up to three months.

Because hip fractures need prompt surgery, partial hip replacement is rarely a planned trip for medical travel. Rehabilitation may continue at home or in a rehabilitation centre. Driving is usually possible after about six weeks.
