What is Hip Replacement Surgery?

Hip Replacement Surgery, also known as hip arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure in which a damaged or worn-out hip joint is replaced with an artificial implant. The hip joint is a ball-and-socket joint, and when it becomes damaged due to arthritis, injury, or degeneration, movement becomes painful and restricted.

The artificial implant is made of durable metal, ceramic, or medical-grade plastic designed to replicate natural joint movement, reduce pain, and improve flexibility.

When You Need Hip Replacement Surgery

Hip Replacement Surgery may be required when:

• Persistent hip pain affects walking, sitting, or sleeping
• Pain does not improve with medications or physiotherapy
• Stiffness severely limits hip movement
• Difficulty in daily activities like climbing stairs or bending
• Hip joint damage due to arthritis or injury
• X-rays show advanced joint degeneration or bone damage

When these symptoms start affecting quality of life, surgery becomes a highly effective solution.
