What Is Hip Replacement Surgery?
Hip replacement (also called hip arthroplasty) involves removing a damaged hip joint and replacing it with an artificial implant. It is one of the most performed and most successful surgeries in the world, with a very high rate of long-term success.
It is recommended for patients with:
- Osteoarthritis — wear and tear of the hip joint cartilage
- Rheumatoid arthritis — autoimmune inflammation of the joint
- Avascular necrosis — bone tissue loss due to reduced blood supply
- Hip fractures — especially in older adults
- Failed previous hip surgery (revision cases)
