Hip Replacement

A hip replacement (also known as hip arthroplasty) is a surgical procedure where a damaged hip joint is replaced with an artificial implant. It is a common procedure for people experiencing chronic hip pain or reduced mobility due to conditions such as arthritis or injury.

Why Hip Replacement is Done

• Osteoarthritis: The most common reason, causing cartilage breakdown in the hip joint.

• Rheumatoid Arthritis: An inflammatory condition leading to joint damage.

• Hip Fractures: Severe fractures that cannot heal properly.

• Avascular Necrosis: Loss of blood supply to the bone, leading to bone collapse.

• Chronic Hip Pain or Stiffness: Pain that interferes with daily activities like walking, climbing stairs, or sitting.
