Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA)
Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA), or hip replacement surgery, is a procedure to replace a damaged or worn-out hip joint with a artificial one. It involves removing the damaged cartilage and bone from the hip socket and thigh bone, then fitting metal, plastic, or ceramic components to restore pain-free mobility and function. THA is commonly performed to relieve severe arthritis pain, improve joint stability, and restore movement, often leading to significant improvement in quality of life. The surgery typically involves a hospital stay, followed by rehabilitation to help regain strength and function.
