uncemented hip replacement

Uncemented hip replacement is a surgical procedure where the damaged parts of the hip joint are replaced with artificial components that are not glued in place. Instead, these components are designed with a rough surface that encourages the bone to grow into them over time, securing the implant naturally. This method is often used for younger, more active patients, as it can allow for better long-term integration with the bone. The surgery aims to alleviate pain and restore function, improving the patient's quality of life following hip joint deterioration.
