Hip Osteoarthritis — From Injections to Robotic Replacement in Istanbul
Worn hip cartilage causing pain, stiffness, and limited mobility. We tailor treatment from targeted injections to Stryker Mako robotic total hip arthroplasty.
Hip Osteoarthritis
Hip osteoarthritis is progressive loss of articular cartilage in the hip joint, leading to bone-on-bone contact, pain, and stiffness. It is the leading indication for total hip replacement worldwide.
Not all hip OA requires surgery. Many patients manage well for years with weight management, physiotherapy, walking aids, and intra-articular injections. When these fail, modern robotic hip replacement delivers excellent outcomes.
- Groin pain, reduced walking distance, and morning stiffness are hallmark symptoms
- X-ray showing joint space narrowing and osteophytes confirms diagnosis
- Conservative care delays surgery for many patients by years
- Stryker Mako robotic THA achieves sub-millimetre implant positioning accuracy

Step-by-Step Hip Arthritis Management
Conservative Management
Weight loss, low-impact exercise, physiotherapy, walking aids, and NSAIDs form the foundation of hip OA management.
Intra-articular Injections
Corticosteroid or hyaluronic acid injections provide 3–6 months of meaningful pain relief and delay surgery.
Total Hip Arthroplasty (Conventional)
Proven procedure replacing both femoral head and acetabular cup. Hospital stay 4–7 days, walking with aid on day 1.
