Hip replacement is a surgical procedure where a damaged or diseased hip joint is replaced with artificial components.
Typically performed to alleviate severe pain and improve mobility caused by conditions like arthritis or fractures, the surgery involves removing damaged bone and cartilage and replacing them with prosthetic implants made of metal, plastic, or ceramic.
This artificial joint mimics the hip’s natural movement, allowing for enhanced function and reduced discomfort. Recovery involves rehabilitation exercises to regain strength and flexibility.
