Uncemented Ceramic Total Hip Replacement

An uncemented ceramic total hip replacement is a modern orthopaedic procedure designed to treat hip joint damage caused by arthritis, trauma, or degenerative disease. Unlike cemented implants, uncemented replacements rely on bone growth to securely fix the implant in place. Ceramic materials are used for their exceptional durability and low wear rate, making them ideal for active or younger patients.

When is this Procedure Recommended?

This type of hip replacement is commonly recommended when:

There is a preference or clinical indication for bone-preserving methods
Non-surgical treatments (e.g., pain relief, physiotherapy) have not improved symptoms
There is significant joint wear or deformity
Patients are younger or more active, benefiting from the longevity of ceramic materials

Symptoms Treated

Chronic hip pain
Reduced mobility or stiffness
Hip joint deterioration visible on imaging
Pain that interferes with sleep or daily activity

What Happens During the Procedure?

During surgery, the damaged joint surfaces are removed and replaced with a ceramic femoral head and acetabular cup. The components are designed to allow bone to naturally grow into them, securing the prosthesis without the use of bone cement.

Recovery and Rehabilitation

Patients typically begin gentle physiotherapy soon after surgery. Recovery timelines vary, but most individuals experience significant improvements in pain and function within 6 to 12 weeks. Our team at The New Foscote Hospital provides a tailored rehabilitation programme to support a full and safe return to daily activities.
