What is Hip Replacement Surgery?

Hip Replacement Surgery, also known as hip arthroplasty, is a highly effective surgical procedure aimed at relieving pain and restoring function in severely diseased hip joints.

The procedure involves removing the damaged femoral head (the "ball" of the thighbone) and replacing it with a prosthetic stem and ball, while the damaged cartilage of the acetabulum (the hip socket) is removed and replaced with a metal socket.
