The best Orthopedic Surgeon in Greater Noida West, Dr. Nitin Srivastava explaines Hip Arthroscopy. Total hip arthroplasty is the complete replacement of a damaged hip with a prosthetic one. This surgery is performed to relieve pain and restore function to a hip deteriorated by osteoarthritis, rheumatoid or psoriatic arthritis, avascular necrosis, congenital abnormalities or traumatic injury. Total hip arthroplasty involves replacing the entire diseased joint, composed of the natural ball and socket and its protective cartilage. The damaged joint is replaced with a prosthetic hip, usually made of a metal ball and a plastic socket.
The artificial hip will help the patient move more normally and without pain. While total hip arthroplasty has a very high rate of success (90-95 percent), this surgical procedure is normally considered only after more conservative treatments have proven ineffective. After a total hip replacement, patients will stay in the hospital for a few days and will likely experience discomfort, swelling and bruising in the area for which pain medication will be prescribed. The presurgical pain resulting from arthritis or other conditions, however, should be gone
