What is Hip Replacement Surgery

The most common among them is Total hip Arthroplasty or surgery. It is major surgery and it is associated with certain potential risks that should be taken care of by the orthopaedic surgeon. Though, it has a high success rate.

Hip replacement (total hip arthroplasty) is conducted to replace a worn-out or damaged hip joint. The surgeon replaces the old joint with an artificial joint (prosthesis). This surgery may be a choice after a hip fracture or for severe pain because of arthritis.

Various types of arthritis may affect the hip joint:

  • Osteoarthritis: It is a degenerative joint ailment that affects mostly adults and older adults (above 35yrs). It causes the breakdown of joint cartilage and adjacent bone in the hips region.
  • Rheumatoid arthritis: It causes inflammation of the synovial lining of the joint. It causes the release of additional synovial fluid. It may cause severe pain and stiffness in hip joints.
  • Traumatic arthritis. It is caused due to injury. It may also lead to damage of the hip cartilage.

The aim of Hip Replacement Surgery is to replace the damaged portions of the Hip. It also helps in relieving pain and stiffness present in Hip due to accidents or arthritis.
