Hip Replacement

Total Hip replacement is a surgical procedure where your doctor replaces the hip joint with a man-made implant (prosthesis). The most common reason for hip replacement would be arthritis, fractures, and high-impact activities. Damaged arthritis, a fracture, or other conditions can make it difficult to perform common activities such as walking or getting in and out of a chair. Undergoing hip replacement is recommended by many doctors to cure the symptoms caused as a result of a damaged hip. The implants used in hip replacement surgery include metals, ceramics, and very hard plastic prostheses. Hip replacement surgery helps in reducing pain and improves the function of the hip joint. This surgery also increases the hips’ range of motion.
