Hip Surgery

The hip joint is the junction where the hip joins the leg to the trunk of the body. It is comprised of two bones: the thighbone or femur, and the pelvis, which is made up of three bones called ilium, ischium and pubis. The ball of the hip joint is made by the femoral head while the socket is formed by the acetabulum.

Other conditions that may affect the hip joint includes labral tears, ligament sprains, cartilage injuries and joint swelling.

A hip arthroplasty is the removal of the damaged parts of the hip joint, which are then replaced with artificial joints, made from either metal, ceramic or plastic.

It is a viable option for people who have tried more conservative treatment plans, such as physical therapy, pain control and exercise, and are still left in pain and with hindered mobility.

A hip replacement can help to relieve pain, assist the hip joint to function better and improve mobility.
