Hip Replacement Surgeries

In a total hip replacement (also called total hip arthroplasty), the damaged bone and cartilage is removed and replaced with prosthetic components.

The damaged femoral head is removed and replaced with a metal stem that is placed into the hollow center of the femur. The femoral stem may be either cemented or “press fit” into the bone.

A metal or ceramic ball is placed on the upper part of the stem. This ball replaces the damaged femoral head that was removed.

The damaged cartilage surface of the socket (acetabulum) is removed and replaced with a metal socket. Screws or cement are sometimes used to hold the socket in place.

A plastic, ceramic, or metal spacer is inserted between the new ball and the socket to allow for a smooth gliding surface.

Is Hip replacement surgery for You?

The decision to undergo hip replacement should involve collaboration between you, your family, your primary care doctor, and your orthopedic surgeon. Typically initiated by a referral, this process starts with an evaluation by an orthopedic surgeon.

When Surgery Is Advised?

Hip replacement may be recommended due to persistent hip pain, limited mobility, and inadequate pain relief from other treatments. Candidates vary in age and weight, with recommendations tailored to pain and disability levels.

The Orthopedic Evaluation

An orthopedic surgeon’s evaluation encompasses medical history, physical examination, X-rays, and potential additional tests. This comprehensive approach guides the decision-making process for optimal outcomes
