If pain in the hip is limiting your daily life and you find it hard to walk, to sit or to sleep without discomfort, then it is very likely that there is advanced wear of the joint. When conservative treatments no longer work, the most effective and lasting solution is conventional total hip arthroplasty. The operation replaces the damaged joint with specialised implants and aims at meaningful relief from chronic pain, at the restoration of mobility and at a return to a normal daily life.

Dr Alexandros Tzaveas approaches every case with an individualised plan of treatment and rehabilitation, placing the emphasis on safety, on sound surgical technique and on a stable long-term result.

What problem does hip arthroplasty address

When the articular cartilage is destroyed, the bones come into contact with one another, causing pain and restricting movement. This leads to difficulty in walking, to pain in the groin or the thigh, to a limp and often to discomfort at night that affects quality of life. Arthroplasty replaces the worn joint and restores the function of the hip.

When the operation is indicated

Hip arthroplasty is recommended when the pain is present every day and affects the patient's life, when there is significant wear on imaging, and when treatments such as physiotherapy, medication or injections have had no effect. The decision is not taken lightly. We move to a surgical solution when the joint no longer allows a good quality of life.

How the operation is performed

The procedure involves preoperative planning, anaesthesia, removal of the worn surfaces of the joint and placement of the implants. Immediate mobilisation and structured rehabilitation follow.

Recovery and rehabilitation

Mobilisation begins in the first few hours after the operation. The patient returns gradually to everyday activities within the first few weeks, while full improvement continues over the months that follow, depending on age and general condition.

Why choose Dr Alexandros Tzaveas

The success of an arthroplasty depends on experience and on sound technique. Dr Tzaveas has specialist expertise in hip surgery and applies modern methods aimed at a safe and functional result that lasts.
