Prosthesis

Hip replacement, or hip arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure in which a damaged hip joint is replaced with an artificial prosthesis. It is often recommended for individuals with severe hip pain and limited mobility due to conditions such as osteoarthritis or hip fractures. During the surgery, the damaged joint is removed, and an artificial hip joint made of metal and plastic components is implanted. Hip replacement aims to relieve pain, restore hip function, improve mobility, and enhance the overall quality of life for individuals with hip joint issues.
