Hip Replacement
Hip Replacement, also known as hip arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure where the damaged or worn-out parts of the hip joint are replaced with artificial implants. It is recommended for patients suffering from severe hip pain, stiffness, and restricted mobility caused by conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, fractures, or degenerative joint diseases.


When Hip Replacement is Needed
- Persistent hip pain affecting daily activities
- Limited mobility and difficulty walking or standing
- Joint stiffness unresponsive to medications or physiotherapy
- Hip fractures or severe joint damage
- Poor quality of life due to chronic discomfort
Common Causes
- Falls from height or accidents
- Sports injuries
- Direct impact or trauma
- Osteoporosis or weak bones
- Motor vehicle accidents
Treatments
- Immobilization with cast or splint
- Pain management with medications
- Reduction (realigning the bone) if displaced
- Surgery with plates, screws, or rods (if severe)
- Physical therapy for rehabilitation
