What Is A Hip Replacement- Hip replacement surgery (sometimes called total hip replacement) involves replacing damaged parts of your hip joint with metal, plastic or ceramic parts.
- It's most commonly used to treat pain and stiffness in the hip joint caused by osteoarthritis.
- It may be recommended if other treatments or lifestyle changes have not worked and hip pain and loss of movement is affecting your daily life.
- You'll have the operation in hospital. It can take several months to recover from surgery.
- A hip replacement can last for at least 15 years and can significantly improve daily life for people with hip pain and stiffness.
