Medpages provides valuable guide and information for you and your family regarding your hip replacement surgery.

Arthroplasty or total hip replacement operation is surgery to replace all or part of the hip joint with an artificial join. You may need a hip replacement surgery if your hip is damaged by arthritis or when osteoarthritis has resulted in the wearing down of the hip joint

Total hip replacement surgery should improve an individual's mobility, by reducing pain and improving the function of the hip joint.
