Signs You May Need Hip Replacement
Surgery isn’t usually the first step. Dr. Dubay assesses conservative treatment first — if that hasn’t worked, an X-ray and clinical exam confirm whether hip replacement is the right next move. You may be a candidate if you have:
- •Severe hip pain that limits walking — even short distances become difficult
- •Hip pain at rest, especially at night disrupting sleep
- •Stiffness making it impossible to put on shoes, socks, or cut toenails
- •A limp when walking due to hip pain
- •Hip pain that failed to respond to physiotherapy, medication, and injections
- •Avascular necrosis (bone death) of the hip caused by steroids, alcohol, or injury
- •Hip fracture — particularly in elderly patients where replacement gives faster recovery than fixation
Not sure if this is you? Describe your symptoms on WhatsApp and the team will help you figure out if a consultation makes sense.
Types of Hip Replacement
Total Hip Replacement (THR)
Dr. Dubay's primary hip procedure — both the femoral head (ball) and the hip socket (acetabulum) are replaced with artificial components.
Revision Hip Replacement
Replacing a previously implanted hip joint that has worn out or failed — one of Dr. Dubay’s areas of complex-case expertise, alongside avascular necrosis and post-trauma cases.
Dr. Dubay’s hip replacement is performed through a small incision at the side or back of the hip. The right approach for your case depends on your anatomy and the reason for surgery — ask which approach is recommended for you during consultation.
Dr. Dubay holds the title of Director, Robotic Joint Replacement Surgery at Shalby Multispecialty Hospital, Vaishali Nagar. Robotic and computer-navigated technology — where used — assists with implant positioning precision; it does not replace the surgeon’s judgement, and Dr. Dubay performs and controls the surgery throughout.
Conditions We Treat
- ✓Hip osteoarthritis — the most common cause of hip replacement in adults over 50
- ✓Avascular necrosis (AVN) — loss of blood supply to the femoral head, treated across its stages, from joint-preserving core decompression in early disease to total hip replacement in advanced cases (Full AVN condition page →)
- ✓Hip fractures — particularly in older adults with osteoporosis, where replacement often supports faster mobilisation than fixation alone
- ✓Developmental hip dysplasia — a structural cause of early hip arthritis in some patients
- ✓Rheumatoid arthritis affecting the hip
- ✓Revision cases — a previously replaced hip that has worn out or failed
If you’re not sure which of these applies to you, an X-ray and consultation will confirm it. See the full hip pain and avascular necrosis condition pages for more detail.

What to Expect: Consultation to Recovery
Recovery timelines vary by patient, age, and case complexity — this is a general pattern, not a guarantee.
Day 1
First Steps
Most patients sit out of bed and walk short distances with a frame within 24 hours. The hip feels surprisingly functional even on day one.
Days 3-5
Hospital Discharge
Walking independently with a frame or crutches, managing stairs, and comfortable enough to go home. Most patients are discharged in 3-5 days.
Weeks 2-6
Increasing Mobility
Walking distances increase significantly each week. Hip precautions (avoiding extreme positions) are maintained. Physiotherapy continues.
Month 3
Near Normal Life
Driving (6 weeks), walking freely (8 weeks), shopping, outings, and most daily activities are comfortable. The limp resolves as strength builds.
Month 6
Full Recovery
Complete recovery for most patients. Walking long distances, travel, temple visits, and social activities are fully achievable.
Years 20+
Long-Term Success
Modern hip implants are engineered to last 20-25 years. Annual reviews ensure early detection of any wear. Many patients never need a second operation.
Cost & Insurance
Hip replacement cost in Jaipur depends on implant type, surgical approach, hospital room category, and insurance cover — there is no single number that applies to every patient. Most pan-India insurance and cashless TPA networks are accepted at Shalby Hospital — share your policy details on WhatsApp to confirm coverage for your case.
