The hip is a ball-and-socket joint. The ball, also called the femoral head, is located at the top of the femur (or thigh bone). The ball rotates within a hollow socket called the acetabulum.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hip replacement surgery involves replacing the parts of the hip joint that are damaged and causing problems with artificial implants made of plastic, metal, or ceramic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The surgical procedure aims to restore hip function, relieve pain, and improve mobility in individuals with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteonecrosis, and other hip-related conditions and injuries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The procedure is typically recommended for individuals with severe hip joint pain that limits their daily activities and quality of life. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/patialaheart.com\/orthopaedics.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hip replacement surgery<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is usually suggested when other contemporary measures, like medication and therapy, are ineffective.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_of_Hip_Replacement_Surgeries\"><\/span><b>Types of Hip Replacement Surgeries<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are two main types of hip replacement surgeries:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #294694;\"><b>Total Hip Replacement<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Total hip replacement involves replacing the entire hip joint with an artificial joint.
