HIP REPLACEMENT SURGERY

By Dr Hai Nguyen

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.

A hip replacement surgery replaces the ball (head of the femur) and socket (acetabulum) of the hip joint with artificial implants. The aim of the procedure is to enable you to resume your daily activities and exercise with greater comfort.
