What is Hip Replacement Surgery?
Hip replacement surgery, also known as hip arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure performed to replace a damaged or diseased hip joint with an artificial joint, called a prosthesis. This surgery is typically recommended for individuals who have severe hip pain and reduced mobility due to conditions such as osteoarthritis,rheumatoid arthritis, avascular necrosis (loss of blood supply to the hip joint), hip fractures, or other conditions that cause damage to the hip joint.
Hip replacement surgery may be considered as a treatment option for patients experiencing symptoms such as:
Chronic Hip Pain:Persistent and debilitating pain in the hip joint that does not respond adequately to conservative treatments such as medication, physical therapy, orinjections.
Limited Mobility:Difficulty walking, climbing stairs, or performing daily activities due to pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion in the hip joint.
Stiffness and Decreased Flexibility:Restricted movement in the hip joint, leading to difficulty in bending,rotating, or extending the hip.
Swelling and Inflammation:Swelling, tenderness, or warmth around the hip joint, often accompanied by inflammation and discomfort.
Functional Impairment:Difficulty in performing routine tasks or participating in activities such as exercise, work, or recreational pursuits due to hip pain and dysfunction.
Reduced Quality of Life:Negative impact on overall well-being and quality of life due to chronic hip symptoms, including limitations in mobility, independence, and participation in social or leisure activities.
Failure of Conservative Treatments:In cases where conservative treatments such as medication, physical therapy, or lifestyle modifications have failed to provide adequate relief from hip symptoms or have become ineffective over time.
