What Is Hip Replacement Surgery?
Hip replacement is a surgical procedure that replaces a damaged or arthritic hip joint with a prosthetic implant. This is often recommended for individuals suffering from conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or hip injuries. The goal is to relieve pain, improve mobility, and help you return to your daily activities.

Understanding the Risks and Benefits

Most patients experience dramatic pain relief, improved mobility, and return to activities they enjoy. Over 90% report significantly improved hip function.
What to Expect After Surgery
You can expect some soreness and swelling immediately after surgery. Recovery includes pain management, physical therapy, and gradual return to activity. Most patients walk with assistance within days and resume light activity in 4–6 weeks. Full recovery can take several months.
