Total hip arthroplasty, another name for hip replacement surgery, is a surgical operation used to replace a diseased or injured hip joint with an artificial joint or prosthesis. It is frequently advised for people who have severe hip pain, stiffness, or mobility issues as a result of diseases such osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, hip fractures, or avascular necrosis. Following are some significant elements relating to hip replacement surgery: Preoperative Evaluation: A thorough assessment of the patient's overall health and the hip joint is done before to surgery. This assessment often entails a physical examination, a review of the patient's medical history, and diagnostic procedures like X-rays, CT scans, or MRI scans. If hip replacement surgery is the best course of action, the surgeon will decide. Surgical Technique: During hip replacement surgery, the femoral head and acetabulum, which make up the ball and socket of the hip joint, are removed and replaced with artificial elements. A metal stem that is put into the femur (thigh bone), a metal or ceramic ball that replaces the femoral head, and a metal or plastic socket component that replaces the acetabulum make up the artificial hip components. Anesthesia: A general anesthetic, which puts the patient to sleep, or a regional anesthetic, such as spinal or epidural anesthesia, which numbs the lower body while the patient is still conscious, is commonly used for hip replacement surgery.
