hip prosthesis

A hip prosthesis is a medical device used to replace a damaged or worn-out hip joint, commonly due to arthritis, injury, or other conditions. It consists of artificial components, typically made of metal, plastic, or ceramic, that mimic the natural structure and function of the hip joint. The procedure to implant a hip prosthesis involves surgically removing the damaged joint and replacing it with the prosthetic components, allowing for improved mobility and pain relief. This surgery can significantly enhance patients' quality of life, enabling them to return to daily activities more comfortably.
