Total hip replacement removes damaged bone and cartilage from the hip joint and replaces it with an artificial implant, relieving pain and restoring mobility for patients with severe arthritis, fractures, or joint degeneration. It is a highly effective procedure for improving quality of life and returning to daily activities.
Hip replacement is generally recommended when arthritis or joint damage causes significant pain and disability not relieved by medication, physiotherapy, or lifestyle changes, and when imaging confirms substantial joint deterioration.
