Joint and hip replacement surgery are surgical procedures designed to relieve pain and restore function to severely damaged or arthritic joints.
During a joint replacement surgery, the damaged or diseased parts of the joint are removed and replaced with artificial components, known as prostheses. Hip replacement specifically involves replacing the damaged hip joint with a prosthetic implant, which mimics the natural function of the hip joint.
This surgery is often recommended for patients suffering from severe osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or traumatic joint injuries.
The procedure aims to reduce pain, improve mobility, and enhance the quality of life.
Advances in surgical techniques and implant technology have led to high success rates and significant improvements in patient outcomes, with many individuals experiencing substantial relief from chronic joint pain and increased mobility post-surgery.
