Hip Replacement
Hip replacement is a treatment applied in cases where the hip joint is severely damaged and unable to perform its functions, typically due to advanced osteoarthritis.
How Is Hip Replacement Surgery Performed?
The procedure is performed by replacing both the head of the femur and the hip socket with metal components.
What Are the Advantages of Hip Replacement?
The patient’s pain and limping are relieved. The patient can start walking the next day. A hip prosthesis performed with proper technique and high-quality materials can last 20–25 years.
Postoperative Process After Hip Replacement Surgery
After surgery, the patient is monitored in the hospital for 5–6 nights and undergoes physical therapy for approximately 1.5 to 2 months. With strengthening of the muscles around the hip, a normal hip function can be achieved.

Prof. Dr. Sinan KAHRAMAN
I am grateful to Prof. Sinan for everything and sincerely thank him for his kindness and attentive care. On July 15, 2016, my left leg was severely fractured in a traffic accident. There was a high risk of my leg becoming shorter, impaired, or leaving me with a limp. After three surgeries performed by Prof. Sinan, I was able to return to my place in the squad in amateur football matches.
I met Mr. Sinan because of my daughter’s scoliosis surgery. We are very lucky that he came into our lives during such a difficult time. His experience in his profession and his sincere care and attention to his patient left us in admiration. I saw in Dr. Sinan what it means to truly love one’s profession. After a 14-hour surgery, my daughter regained her health thanks to Dr. Sinan and his team. I don’t even know how to thank him. I wish Dr. Sinan success in his profession and happiness in his life.
Dr. Sinan, endless thanks for everything—we are truly grateful. Thanks to the surgery you performed, my mother’s shoulder pain, which had been keeping her awake especially at night for a year, has come to an end. You diagnosed the causes of her shoulder pain as frozen shoulder, degeneration, narrowing, and a tear, and you successfully treated all of them with a single operation. No matter how much we thank you, it is not enough—we are deeply grateful. We are so glad to have you. May God grant you strength and good health and never let you be absent from our lives. Wishing you continued success, Dr. Sinan.
