With over 3,000 successful joint replacements (including revisions) and fellowship training in orthopedic oncology and reconstruction, Dr. Deheshi delivers exceptional outcomes for patients throughout the DFW metroplex.
When to Consider Hip Replacement Surgery
Hip replacement may be recommended when conservative treatments no longer provide adequate relief. Common reasons patients seek hip replacement include:
Osteoarthritis: The most common reason for hip replacement, causing cartilage breakdown and painful bone-on-bone contact
Rheumatoid Arthritis: Inflammatory arthritis that damages the hip joint lining
Post-Traumatic Arthritis: Arthritis developing after hip injury
Avascular Necrosis: Loss of blood supply to the hip bone causing deterioration
Failed Previous Hip Surgery: When previous hip replacement develops complications
Signs You May Need Hip Replacement:
- Persistent hip pain that limits daily activities
- Pain at rest or night pain disrupting sleep
- Stiffness limiting range of motion
- Difficulty walking, climbing stairs, or getting up from chairs
- Inadequate relief from medications, injections, or physical therapy
- Hip pain interfering with quality of life
Primary Hip Replacement
Dr. Deheshi performs primary hip replacement (total hip arthroplasty) for patients experiencing severe hip arthritis or damage. The procedure involves removing the damaged hip joint and replacing it with
prosthetic components designed to restore normal hip function.
Minimally Invasive Approach
Dr. Deheshi utilizes minimally invasive surgical techniques whenever possible, offering patients:
- Smaller incisions and less tissue damage
- Reduced post-operative pain
- Shorter hospital stays (often outpatient or overnight)
- Faster recovery and return to activities
- Better cosmetic results
Advanced Implant Technology
We use the latest hip implant technology including:
- Ceramic and highly cross-linked polyethylene bearings for longevity
- Cementless implants that integrate with bone
- Dual-mobility implants for enhanced stability
- Custom sizing for optimal fit and function
Revision Hip Replacement
When hip replacement doesn’t go as planned, Dr. Deheshi provides expert revision hip surgery.
Orthopedic surgeons throughout North Texas refer their most challenging hip revision cases to Dr. Deheshi because of his fellowship training in orthopedic oncology and extensive experience with bone reconstruction.
Common Reasons for Hip Revision:
Persistent Pain: Ongoing pain after hip replacement that limits function and quality of life
Instability and Dislocation: Hip joint that dislocates or feels unstable during normal activities
Infection: Deep infection around the hip implant requiring specialized treatment
Loosening: Hip implant components that have loosened from the bone
Wear and Failure: Implant components that have worn out or mechanically failed
Bone Loss: Significant bone deterioration requiring advanced reconstruction techniques
Leg Length Discrepancy: Significant difference in leg lengths causing functional problems
Revision Hip Surgery Expertise
Revision hip replacement is significantly more challenging than primary hip replacement. Dr. Deheshi’s fellowship training in orthopedic oncology provides unique expertise in complex bone reconstruction, making him exceptionally qualified for revision cases that involve:
- Significant bone loss requiring bone grafting
- Custom or specialized implants
- Infection management with staged procedures
- Multiple previous surgeries
With hundreds of successful revision hip surgeries completed, Dr. Deheshi has the experience to achieve excellent outcomes even in the most challenging cases.
What to Expect
Before Surgery
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation where Dr. Deheshi will:
- Review your medical history and symptoms
- Perform physical examination
- Analyze X-rays and imaging studies
- Discuss treatment options and expected outcomes
- Answer all your questions
If surgery is recommended, our team coordinates pre-operative testing, medical clearance, and surgical scheduling to ensure everything is prepared for your procedure.
Day of Surgery
Hip replacement is typically performed under spinal or general anesthesia and takes 1-2 hours for primary replacement (longer for revision cases). Many patients go home the same day or after an overnight hospital stay.
Recovery Timeline
Weeks 1-2: Physical therapy begins immediately. Most patients walk with assistance the day of surgery. Pain management and wound care are priorities.
Weeks 3-6: Increased mobility and independence. Many patients discontinue assistive devices and return to light activities.
Weeks 6-12: Continued strengthening and range of motion exercises. Most patients return to normal daily activities.
Months 3-6: Full recovery with return to more demanding activities and sports.
Dr. Deheshi’s minimally invasive techniques and advanced pain management protocols allow most patients to experience faster, more comfortable recovery compared to traditional hip replacement approaches.
