Hip Implants

Hip implants, or hip replacement surgery, involve replacing a damaged hip joint with artificial components. This procedure is commonly performed to relieve pain and restore mobility in individuals with conditions like arthritis, fractures, or wear and tear. The implant typically consists of a metal ball that fits into a cup (the socket) made of plastic or metal. Surgery aims to reduce pain and improve quality of life, enabling patients to return to everyday activities. Recovery often includes physical therapy to regain strength and flexibility in the hip. Overall, hip implants can significantly enhance mobility and comfort for those affected.
