Hip Surgery Information and Treatment Options
Hip surgery is a medical procedure performed to treat a variety of hip-related conditions. Surgery may involve repairing damaged or diseased tissue within the joint, replacing the hip joint using an artificial joint fully or partially, or even realigning the hip bone to enhance better stability and less pain. The decision of a hip surgery procedural approach comes from a careful review, listing the medical history and findings of a physical examination, along with imaging studies. It is considered a safe and effective operation in general, with most people experiencing tremendous relief from pain and more mobility after the surgery. However, just like any surgical procedure, there are risks and possible complications that need to be discussed with the patient before subjecting him to it.
Hip Replacement Surgery
Total hip replacement is performed on patients with a worn out/arthritic hip joint, where symptoms (such as pain and stiffness) have failed to respond to non-operative treatments such as painkillers and physiotherapy. Robotic assisted hip replacement is now available. More about a hip replacement
