Hip Replacement
Hip replacement is a treatment applied in cases where the hip joint is severely damaged and unable to perform its functions, typically due to advanced osteoarthritis.
How Is Hip Replacement Surgery Performed?
The procedure is performed by replacing both the head of the femur and the hip socket with metal components.
What Are the Advantages of Hip Replacement?
The patient’s pain and limping are relieved. The patient can start walking the next day. A hip prosthesis performed with proper technique and high-quality materials can last 20–25 years.
Postoperative Process After Hip Replacement Surgery
After surgery, the patient is monitored in the hospital for 5–6 nights and undergoes physical therapy for approximately 1.5 to 2 months. With strengthening of the muscles around the hip, a normal hip function can be achieved.
