What is Hip Replacement?

Hip replacement is a surgical procedure where a damaged or worn-out hip joint is replaced with an artificial implant to restore mobility and relieve chronic pain. This is often recommended for patients suffering from Avascular Necrosis or AVN, advanced arthritis, hip fractures, or other degenerative joint conditions that limit movement and affect quality of life.

How Hip Replacement Surgery Works

The procedure involves removing the damaged parts of the hip joint—typically the ball and socket—and replacing them with biocompatible implants, which typically include a metal socket, a liner, a stem and the new head or the ball.
