Hip Replacement
A total hip replacement (arthroplasty) is a surgical procedure that replaces an injured, deformed, or arthritic hip joint with a metal and plastic implant. Hip surgeons often perform a hip replacement to treat hip arthritis. Hip arthritis can be the result of the wear and tear of aging and can also arise from injuries.
Hip pain can be treated with lifestyle modifications, medications, and tools like canes or walkers, but if hip pain persists, a hip replacement may be the best option. Hip replacement participants typically experience a drastic reduction in pain and are able to return to pain-free daily activities.
