Total Hip Replacement

Total hip replacement is a surgical procedure to replace a damaged or worn hip joint with an artificial joint. This type of surgery is used to relieve pain and restore function to the lower body. It is commonly used to treat conditions such as arthritis, fractures, and hip dysplasia. Total hip replacement involves removing the damaged components of the hip joint, including the femoral head, and replacing them with a metal or ceramic ball and stem, and a plastic or ceramic cup. The new joint is designed to move, rotate, and provide strength and stability to the hip. Total hip replacement can help to improve the quality of life for those with chronic hip pain, reduced range of motion, and loss of mobility, enabling them to be more active and engage in activities they enjoy.
