Hip replacement is a surgical procedure in which a damaged or worn-out hip joint is replaced with an artificial implant, typically made of metal, ceramic, or plastic components. This operation is commonly performed to relieve pain and restore mobility in patients suffering from severe arthritis, hip fractures, or other degenerative joint conditions that have not responded to conservative treatments. The procedure involves removing the damaged portions of the hip joint and replacing them with prosthetic parts that mimic the natural movement of a healthy hip. Hip replacement can significantly improve a patient’s quality of life by reducing pain, enhancing mobility, and allowing a return to normal daily activities.
