Why do get this surgery?

What does the surgeon do in the surgery?

Hip replacement removes damaged portions of the hip joint (ball-and-socket) and replaces them with metal, ceramic, or high-grade plastic prosthetics. It’s commonly recommended for osteoarthritis, fractures, or avascular necrosis. Surgeons choose between traditional open surgery or minimally invasive techniques, which use smaller incisions to preserve muscle and reduce recovery time. Custom implants, guided by preoperative CT scans, ensure optimal fit and stability.
Patients often experience pain relief within days, with full recovery taking 3–6 months. Hospitals prioritize rapid mobilization protocols to enhance outcomes, emphasizing physical therapy to regain strength.
