Hip Replacement
Hip replacement surgery is a medical procedure that involves replacing a damaged or worn out hip joint with a new one. This surgical procedure is used to relieve pain and restore mobility to a person with a damaged or worn out hip joint, usually caused by arthritis, trauma, or other degenerative diseases. The surgery usually involves replacing the head of the femur, the socket of the hip, or both with metal and plastic parts. This can help improve a person's quality of life by restoring mobility and reducing discomfort and pain associated with hip arthritis and other conditions. Hip replacement surgery can also prevent or slow down the further degeneration of the hip joint and help the patient to return to an active lifestyle.
