TOTAL HIP REPLACEMENT
If your hip has been damaged by arthritis, a
fracture, or other conditions, common activities
such as walking or getting in and out of a chair
may be painful and difficult.
Total hip replacement (or hip arthroplasty) is a
technique that has become widespread in recent
years in response to the need for improving hip
joints that have been damaged by injury or
arthritis. Joint replacement surgery may offer
the best treatment option for long-term
improvement for the hip joint when other
treatments have proven inadequate. In most cases,
having a total hip replacement reduces joint pain
and means a return to pain-free movement.
In Total Hip Replacement procedure removes a
painful hip joint with arthritis and replaces it
with an artificial joint often made from metal
and plastic components. It can be performed
traditionally or by using what is considered a
minimally-invasive technique. The main difference
between the two procedures is the size of the
incision. It usually is done when all other
treatment options have failed to provide adequate
pain relief. The procedure should relieve a
painful hip joint, making walking easier.

What causes hip pain?
The human hip is a ball and socket joint. It is
the most flexible and free-moving joint in the
body, and can move backwards and forwards, to the
side, and can perform twisting motions. Full
function of the hip is dependent on the
coordination of bones, muscles, tendons,
ligaments and nerves.

Hip pain can be caused by a variety of factors,
including
An injury that does not heal properly. .A chronic
illness. .Normal wear and tear from years of
constant use. .Severe arthritic conditions,
especially osteoarthritis. .Injuries as a result
of trauma, such as a hip fracture or dislocation
caused by a fall. .Osteoarthritis .Rheumatoid
arthritis .Post-traumatic arthritis
If medications, changes in your everyday
activities, and the use of walking supports do
not adequately help your symptoms, you may
consider hip replacement surgery. Hip replacement
surgery is a safe and effective procedure that
can relieve your pain, increase motion, and help
you get back to enjoying normal, everyday
activities.
Is Hip Replacement Surgery for You?
The decision to have hip replacement surgery
