Hip Replacement Surgery: How it Works, Recovery Time
Hip replacement surgery replaces portions of the hip joint with implants. It is performed to relieve pain and stiffness caused by hip arthritis.

A hip replacement procedure involves an operation in which the cup-shaped hip socket, or acetabulum, and head and neck of the thigh bone, or femur, are replaced with prosthetic components. The bones of the hip joint experience wear over time, or become damaged from arthritis, fracture, or other conditions such as bone death due to loss of blood supply. When the cartilage covering the bone surfaces is damaged, the underlying bone becomes irritated and develops spurs and other irregularities, which can cause pain and loss of motion.
