It is a surgical procedure where a damaged or worn-out hip joint is replaced with an artificial joint, called a prosthesis. It is usually done when hip pain and stiffness, often caused by arthritis or injury, severely affect mobility and quality of life. The surgery helps relieve pain, improve joint function, and restore the ability to perform daily activities. The new hip joint is typically made from metal, ceramic, or plastic materials, and can last for many years.
In a total hip replacement, both the damaged ball (femoral head) and socket (acetabulum) of the hip joint are replaced with artificial parts. This is the most common type of hip replacement surgery and is typically recommended for severe arthritis or joint damage.
A partial hip replacement involves replacing only the femoral head (the ball of the hip joint), leaving the socket intact. This procedure is often used for patients with a fractured hip, especially in older adults, where only the ball part of the joint is damaged.
A hip replacement is needed when the hip joint is damaged and causes constant pain or difficulty moving. This usually happens because of problems like osteoarthritis, where the joint's cartilage wears away, or rheumatoid arthritis, which causes joint inflammation. Sometimes, a hip fracture or a problem called avascular necrosis, where the bone loses its blood supply, can also lead to the need for a replacement. If these issues cause ongoing pain and make it hard to do everyday things like walking or standing, a hip replacement can help reduce pain and improve movement.
