Breaking Down Myths About Hip Replacement Surgery - Dr Kashyap Solanki, Mumbai

Hip pain can significantly affect daily life—walking, sitting, and even sleeping. Yet many patients in Mumbai, Andheri, and Juhu delay hip replacement surgery due to fear and misinformation. Let’s clear some common myths.

Myth 1: I won’t be able to move normally after surgery

Truth: Most patients regain better mobility than before surgery. Simple activities like walking, climbing stairs, and sitting comfortably become much easier.

Myth 2: Recovery takes many months

Truth: Patients usually start walking within 1–2 days. Basic recovery happens in 4–6 weeks, with continued improvement over a few months.

Myth 3: Hip implants don’t last long

Truth: Modern hip implants last 15–25 years or more, especially with proper care and a healthy lifestyle.

Myth 4: Surgery is only for very old patients

Truth: Hip replacement is done based on pain and function, not age. Many patients in their 40s and 50s undergo successful surgery.

Myth 5: Hip replacement is very risky

Truth: It is one of the most successful orthopaedic surgeries worldwide, with predictable and excellent outcomes.

Takeaway: Hip replacement surgery today is safe, reliable, and life-changing. Early consultation helps avoid unnecessary suffering.
