Total Hip Replacement

Total hip replacement surgically removes a damaged or arthritic hip joint and replaces it with an artificial ball-and-socket implant, relieving chronic pain and restoring the ability to walk and move comfortably. It is one of the most successful and reliable procedures in orthopedic surgery, dramatically improving quality of life for patients whose hip pain has significantly limited their mobility and independence. The artificial joint replicates the natural ball-and-socket movement of the hip, allowing most patients to return to walking, swimming and other low-impact activities. Careful post-operative precautions in the early weeks help protect the new joint while the surrounding tissues heal.
