The hip is a ball and socket joint. The hip bones provide the connection between the upper and lower body, linking the trunk to the lower extremities. The hip joint consists of a round bone at the top of the thighbone (femur) and a socket-like bone in the pelvis (acetabulum), which together enable movement such as walking, running, and jumping.
Common causes include arthritis, bursitis, sciatica, and tendinitis.
A chronic disease causing cartilage breakdown in joints.
An autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks joints.
Avascular necrosis (AVN), a condition affecting patients of any age.
Occurs when joints become infected.
If your hip is damaged due to arthritis, injury, or other conditions and is making it difficult to stand or walk, a total hip replacement surgery may offer significant pain relief and restore mobility.
Prior to surgery, an orthopedic surgeon will conduct diagnostic tests such as:
Replaces both the ball and socket with an artificial joint, eliminating arthritis pain.
Hemiarthroplasty replaces only the ball while keeping the natural socket intact.
If you need expert consultation, book an appointment at Welcare Hospital (centreforkneesurgery.com) for a pre-operative hip examination.
