What is Hip Arthroplasty?

Age, injury, or various diseases can cause hip joints to wear out. Worn hip joints cause pain by moving, walking, sitting up. Over time, movements decrease. If hip arthritis is in its initial stages, other treatment methods can be applied before deciding on hip arthroplasty. Losing weight and using a cane will reduce pain due to the arthrosis joint. Anti-inflammatory pain medications can help reduce arthritis pain. If the pain associated with arthritis in the hip joint cannot be kept under control with these methods and it prevents the daily activities to be performed, hip arthroplasty is required. The success of hip arthroplasty is closely related to the general condition of the patient, bone quality, and the extent of movement of the joint before operation.
