Hip
Replacement Surgery
Hip Replacement surgery is a commonly performed orthopedic
treatment that involves surgical removal of a painful hip bone damaged due to inflammatory
disease and is replaced with a synthetic joint called prosthetic implant
usually made of metal and plastic elements. Reasons for Hip pain can be many
like rheumatoid arthritis, aseptic bone necrosis and osteoarthritis, although
these conditions can be treated medically but sometimes severe pain in hip
joint can cause difficulty in walking, sitting and doing normal day to day
activities. This is when a Hip Replacement surgery is required. It is normally
done when all other treatment choices have failed to offer adequate relief from
the painful hip.
