Hip replacement surgery (or hip arthroplasty) is a procedure where an orthopedic surgeon removes a damaged or diseased hip jointโtypically the ball-shaped head of the thigh bone and the pelvic socketโand replaces it with an artificial prosthesis made of metal, plastic, or ceramic to relieve pain and restore mobility. Who Needs It?Doctors generally recommend a hip replacement when conservative treatments (such as physical therapy, medication, or assistive devices) no longer relieve chronic pain and stiffness. Common conditions requiring this surgery include: โข Osteoarthritis: Wear and tear of the joint cartilage over time. โข Rheumatoid Arthritis: Inflammatory disease of the joint lining. โข Avascular Necrosis: Bone death caused by a lack of sufficient blood supply. โข Severe hip fractures or certain bone tumors
