Introduction

• Hip replacement surgery is a procedure in which a
  doctor surgically removes a painful hip joint
  with arthritis and replaces it with an artificial
  joint often made from metal and plastic
  components.
• It usually is done when all other treatment
  options have failed to provide adequate pain
  relief.
• Hip replacement surgery is a safe and effective
  procedure that can relieve your pain, increase
  motion, and help you get back to enjoying normal,
  everyday activities.

  and medical needs, as well your size.

  longer surgical time.

  6 weeks.

  pillow between your knees.
