Total Hip Replacement Surgery
During Total hip replacement (THR), a surgeon removes the damaged sections of the hip joint and replaces them with parts usually constructed bio-compatible artificial materials. This artificial joint (prosthesis) helps reduce pain and improve function.
Also called total hip Arthroplasty, hip replacement surgery might be an option if hip pain interferes with daily activities and nonsurgical treatments haven't helped or are no longer effective. Arthritis damage, fracture and AVN (Avascular Necrosis) are the most common reasons for hip replacement.
