This surgery replaces worn artificial hip parts and damaged bone with new metal, plastic or ceramic components. The new components restore normal hip joint stability.
Arthritis - Also called osteoarthritis, involves the swelling and damage of the body's joints. The condition causes pain and stiffness and limits joint movement. Becuase the hips are major weight-bearing joints, they are at risk for osteoarthritis.
