When a worn or damaged hip makes walking, sitting and sleeping painful, a new hip joint can ease the pain and let you move easily again. Most patients walk the day after surgery.
The worn ball and socket of the hip joint are replaced with an artificial ball and socket.
It is done for severe hip arthritis, for avascular necrosis (when the top of the thigh bone loses its blood supply), and for some hip fractures in older patients. The aim is less pain, a stable hip and easier walking.
