Hip replacement
Definition
Hip replacement may be the answer when other therapies fail to provide relief from the pain of hip arthritis. Hip replacement — called total hip arthroplasty — can relieve pain. Hip replacement can also give you back the range of motion you need to go about your daily tasks. But hip replacement surgery isn't without risks.
