Hip replacement is a surgical method to eliminate an arthritic hip joint, to make walking easier again. The damaged part of the hip joint is replaced with an artificial joint (prosthesis) to lessen the pain that adversely affects routine chores, to improve mobility in patients so that they do not require support all the time. At Life Care Hospital, Orthopaedic surgeons perform hip replacement surgery only after other types of non-surgical treatment methods fail to deliver good results. Hip replacement surgery, also known as Hip Arthroplasty, becomes the preferred option for those with severe joint damage caused by arthritis.
