Hip Replacement FAQs
Hip replacement is usually necessary when the hip joint is severely damaged and causes ongoing pain, stiffness, and loss of mobility that doesn’t improve with non-surgical options (physiotherapy, medication, injections, activity changes). The most common reasons include osteoarthritis, inflammatory arthritis, avascular necrosis, or damage after injury/fracture. The aim is to reduce pain and help you return to normal daily activities.
A total hip arthroplasty (total hip replacement) is performed to replace the worn or damaged joint surfaces (the ball and socket) with an implant that restores smoother, more stable movement. At INCOT, this is typically supported by enhanced recovery / fast-track protocols and regional anesthesia techniques (spinal anesthesia and nerve blocks) designed to support early mobilization and comfort.
All surgeries carry risks. Hip replacement risks may include: Infection Blood clots (DVT/PE) Dislocation Leg length difference Nerve or blood vessel injury (rare) Fracture during or after surgery (rare) Implant wear or loosening over time Persistent pain or stiffness in a small number of patients INCOT highlights a focus on modern pain protocols using regional anesthesia (spinal + ultrasound-guided nerve blocks) to help reduce postoperative discomfort
Many implants last 15–20+ years, but a second operation (revision surgery) can be needed later if the implant wears out, loosens, dislocates repeatedly, or if there’s an infection. INCOT’s hip team includes experience in complex revision procedures, including advanced implants (e.g., dual mobility cups).
A good preparation plan usually includes: Share your medical history and recent imaging in advance so the team can evaluate your case and plan the best approach. Attend a virtual clinical interview (INCOT describes consulting with the surgeon/anesthetist as part of the process). Review medications with your medical team (especially blood thinners and supplements). Improve recovery factors where possible: stop smoking, optimize diabetes/BP, keep gentle activity. Plan your practical logistics: comfortable clothes, supportive shoes, help at home for the first days, and a safe home setup (remove trip hazards).
Most patients can expect: Significant pain relief (especially arthritis pain) Better function for walking, stairs, daily activities A structured pathway that supports early rehab: INCOT notes fast-track recovery and rehabilitation starting right away, often coordinated with your accommodation.
Typical expectations after surgery include: Hospital stay: INCOT indicates total hip replacement: 2 nights. Rehabilitation: you’ll begin moving safely soon after surgery; INCOT includes rehab and often coordinates it with your hotel/apartment stay. Time in Valencia before travel home: INCOT recommends 7 days for hip replacement. Recovery timeline: INCOT estimates ~3 months for hip replacement recovery (progress continues as strength and confidence build). You’ll receive a medical report and physiotherapy plan to support follow-up at home, with optional video follow-ups mentioned for UK patients.
