Hip Replacement

Hip replacement is surgery for people with severe hip damage. When you have a hip replacement, the surgeon removes damaged cartilage and bone from your hip joint and replaces them with new, man-made parts.

This can relieve pain, help your hip joint work better, and improve your walking and other movements.

Your doctor may recommend it if you have hip damage and pain, and physical therapy, medicines and exercise don't help.
