Hip Replacement

- a very successful operation, which eliminates pain and stiffness in the hip joint.

This operation involves removing and replacing worn parts of the pelvic and thigh bones that form your hip joint. It is performed primarily to relieve pain and stiffness in the thigh caused by deforming osteoarthritis of the hip.
It is also sometimes used to treat injuries such as hip neck and head fractures, as well as some other conditions.
 It is worth considering the option of hip replacement surgery if you have severe pain in the hip joint, which cannot be reduced a with medication permanently and which interfere with your work, disrupts your sleep or daily activities; as well as stiffness in the thighs, which restricts your hip motion and makes it difficult to walk.
