Total Hip Replacement

Total Hip Replacement is available through Sports Medicine North at a published cash price, paid when you book.

Total hip replacement, also known as total hip arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to alleviate pain and restore function in individuals with severe hip joint damage, often caused by conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or traumatic injury. During the surgery, the damaged femoral head and acetabulum are replaced with artificial components, including a metal or ceramic femoral stem, a femoral head, and a metal or plastic acetabular cup. The prosthetic components mimic the natural movement of the hip, allowing for improved joint function and reduced pain. Total hip replacement aims to enhance mobility, restore stability, and significantly improve the patient's overall quality of life. Advances in surgical techniques, implant materials, and postoperative care have contributed to successful outcomes, quicker recovery times, and increased durability of hip prosthetics, making total hip replacement a widely performed and effective intervention for those suffering from debilitating hip joint conditions.
