Joints are involved in almost every activity. Walking, bending, and turning all require the joints of the hip and knee. Normal healthy joints allow for these movements to occur easily and without pain. However, when joints become diseased or injured the pain that results can become so severe that normal movement become impossible.
The hip joint can be damaged by arthritis, a fracture or other conditions. When damaged, activities such as walking, getting in and out of a chair become painful and difficult.
If medical intervention such as medications, activity modification, or walking aids such as a cane are not helpful, hip replacement surgery should be considered. Hip replacement surgery can relieve pain and help you to return to normal everyday activities.
Total hip replacement is a common orthopaedic procedure. Hip replacement surgery involves removing the head of the thighbone (femur) and replacing the ball-and-socket mechanism of the hip with artificial implants. This relieves pain and improves mobility.
Minimally invasive hip replacement allows the surgeon to perform the hip replacement through one or two small incisions. Patients usually have less pain compared with traditional hip replacement surgery, and rehabilitation is faster.
