Hip replacement, also known as hip arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure aimed at replacing a damaged or worn-out hip joint with an artificial implant to relieve pain and improve mobility. It's a common procedure performed to address various conditions that cause hip joint damage, such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, avascular necrosis, hip fractures, or other conditions that affect the hip joint.
The hip joint is a ball-and-socket joint where the top of the thigh bone (femur) meets the pelvis.
Hip replacement surgery aims to reduce pain, restore hip joint function, and improve overall mobility. It can significantly enhance the quality of life for individuals experiencing severe hip joint pain or limitations in daily activities due to hip problems.
Recovery from hip replacement surgery involves rehabilitation, physical therapy, and gradually increasing activity levels under the guidance of healthcare professionals. Most patients experience reduced pain and improved mobility following successful hip replacement surgery.
While hip replacement is generally a safe and effective procedure, risks can include infection, blood clots, implant dislocation, or implant wear over time. However, advancements in surgical techniques and implant materials have improved the outcomes and longevity of hip replacements, making it a common and successful procedure for those with hip joint issues.
