Orthopedics >> Hip Replacement



Hip replacement is a complex procedure involving the removal of the hip joint and its replacement with artificial hip joints. Hip replacement surgery becomes necessary when the hipbones and joints have been affected by arthritis or has been injured through trauma, causing drastic changes in a person's lifestyle.

Hip replacement is typically, the last resort. Before hip replacement surgery, all other surgical and non-surgical options are tried to rectify the problem. In case hip replacement is the only solution to chronic pain and loss of mobility, the orthopedics surgeon must do a thorough feasibility study of the patients' condition, and see if he or she is eligible to undergo the operation.
