Hip surgery is performed to relieve pain, restore mobility, and improve quality of life in patients with hip joint problems. It is commonly recommended for conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, hip fractures, bursitis, or congenital joint deformities. The most well-known procedure is total hip replacement (arthroplasty), where the damaged parts of the hip joint are replaced with artificial components. Other types include hip resurfacing, hip arthroscopy (minimally invasive repair), and revision surgery for worn or failed implants.
Hip surgery is typically done under spinal or general anesthesia and may require a short hospital stay. With proper rehabilitation and physical therapy, most patients regain strength, mobility, and independence within a few weeks to months. Modern techniques, such as minimally invasive surgery and advanced implant materials, make hip surgery highly effective and long-lasting. It offers significant relief for those suffering from chronic hip pain and movement limitations.
