Hip Replacement Surgery UAE

Hip replacement surgery is conducted to replace the hip parts that are damaged, disabled, or experience prolonged pain. Also referred to as “hip arthroplasty,” hip surgery alleviates any hip pain that interferes with daily activities and for conditions that haven’t improved through non-surgical treatments or are no longer effective.

In a typical replacement surgery, an orthopedic surgeon removes the damaged sections of the hip joint and replaces them with an artificial hip joint or prosthesis, usually constructed of metal, ceramic, and rigid plastic. The prosthesis consists of two parts; a round ball (femoral head) attached via a stem to the femur and a cup-like acetabular component (socket) placed in the pelvis.

Osteoarthritis is the most common orthopedic condition that calls for hip replacement surgery. Osteoarthritis causes loss of joint cartilage in the hip, which limits movement and may cause pain. Besides, arthritis such as rheumatoid arthritis and arthritis that results from a hip injury can also damage the hip joints requiring hip replacement surgery. Even fractures that often result from a fall causing pain and complications in walking or moving may also need hip replacement surgery.
