TOTAL HIP REPLACEMENT

A hip replacement is a surgical procedure that replaces a painful hip joint with an artificial one. During this surgery, the diseased bone tissue and cartilage are removed, and new, artificial parts are implanted to restore the joint's function.
What Does Hip Replacement Surgery Involve?
ip replacement surgery typically involves replacing the head of the femur and the acetabulum with artificial parts made of materials like metal, plastic, or ceramic. The procedure can be cemented, uncemented, or a hybrid of both, depending on the patient's needs and bone quality.
Recovery and Rehabilitation
After surgery, patients undergo rehabilitation to regain mobility and strength. Physical therapists guide patients through exercises to improve hip function and prevent injury. Full recovery generally takes 3 to 6 months, with most patients leaving the hospital within 10 days post-surgery.
