The hip is one of the largest joints in your body. As a weight-bearing, ball-and-socket joint, the hip endures a tremendous amount of stress.

Hip replacement surgery, also called total hip replacement or hip arthroplasty, involves removing damaged or worn-out cartilage and bone and replacing them with artificial parts.

Hip replacement surgery aims to relieve hip pain and restore normal functioning. Total hip replacement is a safe and effective procedure that can dramatically improve your quality of life.
