Total Hip Replacement
Total hip replacement is a surgical procedure that replaces a damaged hip joint with an artificial joint. It is a common orthopedic procedure used to alleviate pain and improve mobility in hip joints affected by arthritis and other conditions. The artificial joint, known as a prosthesis, is composed of a metal head, a stem, and a ceramic or plastic cup with a liner. During the surgery, the surgeon makes an incision in the hip and removes the damaged joint. The prosthetic components are then inserted and attached to the thighbone and pelvic bone. After the procedure, most people can return to their normal activities, and the prosthesis generally lasts 10-15 years or longer, providing long-term pain relief and improved mobility.
