HIP REPLACEMENT SURGERY

What is hip replacement surgery?

A hip replacement is necessary when you experience significant pain that affects your quality of life and activity level. The main indication for hip replacement is osteoarthritis. In this case, the cartilage is severely damaged. Other indications include vascular necrosis, rheumatism or hip dysplasia.
