A surgeon replaces the damaged hip joint elements with new ones that are often made of metal, ceramic, or very hard plastic during hip replacement surgery. This prosthetic joint (artificial joint) aids in pain relief and improved function. Hip replacement surgery, also known as total hip arthroplasty, may be an option if hip pain prevents you from going about your regular business and nonsurgical treatments haven't worked or are no longer efficient. Damage from arthritis is the most frequent cause of hip replacement. Problems that can harm the hip joint and occasionally necessitate hip replacement surgery include: Osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis, also referred to as wear-and-tear arthritis, affects the slippery cartilage that protects the ends of bones and facilitates joint motion.
