Understanding
Total Hip Replacement
Total Hip Replacement (THR), also known as Total Hip Arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure in which the damaged hip joint is replaced with artificial components (prostheses). The damaged ball (femoral head) and socket (acetabulum) are removed and replaced with durable implants to relieve pain, restore mobility, and improve quality of life. It is commonly recommended for patients with severe hip arthritis, fractures, or degenerative joint diseases when non-surgical treatments are no longer effective.
A total hip replacement (arthroplasty) is a surgical procedure where an orthopedic surgeon removes damaged bone and cartilage in your hip joint and replaces them with artificial implants (prostheses). The procedure aims to relieve severe, chronic pain and restore mobility caused by conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or fractures.
Anatomy of the Total Hip Replacement
The hip is a ball-and-socket joint that allows smooth movement and supports body weight. It consists of:
- Femoral Head: The ball-shaped upper end of the thigh bone (femur).
- Acetabulum: The socket in the pelvis that holds the femoral head.
- Articular Cartilage: Smooth tissue covering the ball and socket to reduce friction.
- Labrum: A ring of cartilage around the socket that provides stability.
- Ligaments and Muscles: Support the joint and enable movement.
During Total Hip Replacement, both the damaged femoral head and acetabulum are replaced with artificial implants.
Common Causes Total Hip Replacement
- Osteoarthritis
