Hip Replacement is the surgical procedure in which the surgeon removes the damaged hip with the new man made hip. This treatment is done when all other treatments are failed. The surgery helps to reduce pain and improve the function of joints. The main cause of hip damage is due to osteoarthritis. It causes pain and swelling in your joints.
The most common problem after surgery is the hip dislocation. The surgery also causes the blood clot and infection. There are mainly three types of hip replacement
Total Hip Replacement: In this procedure, the damaged hip(diseased cartilage and bone of the hip) is replaced with an artificial hip.
Surface Replacement: Surface replacement is an alternative to traditional hip replacement surgery. It provides a bone-conserving artificial hip replacement. The preservation of bone has many advantages as well as risk factors.
Ceramic Type Implants: Ceramic type implants are used to reduce the wearing out of hip implants.
