FDS total hip joint implant bipolar

Total hip replacement, commonly called hip replacement surgery, is a surgical procedure that replaces a damaged or diseased hip joint with an artificial implant. The goal of this surgery is to relieve pain and improve the function of the hip joint.
During surgery, the damaged portion of the hip joint, including the femoral head and acetabulum, is removed and replaced with prosthetic components made of metal, plastic, or ceramic. The type of implant used may vary based on factors such as the patient's age, health, and surgeon preference.

A hip prosthesis is a medical device used to replace a damaged or diseased hip joint, relieve pain and restore mobility. The hip joint is a ball and socket joint that connects the femur (thigh bone) to the pelvis, allowing for a wide range of motion. However, conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, fractures or avascular necrosis can cause the joint to deteriorate significantly, leading to chronic pain and limited mobility. In these cases, a hip implant may be recommended.

Most patients are able to return to normal activities, such as walking and climbing stairs, within a few weeks to months after surgery. Like any surgical procedure, total hip replacement carries certain risks and complications, including infection, blood clots, loose or dislocated implants, nerve or blood vessel damage, and joint stiffness or instability. However, these complications are relatively rare and can usually be managed with proper medical care. Be sure to consult with a qualified orthopedic surgeon to determine whether total hip replacement is the right treatment option for your specific situation and to discuss any questions or concerns you may have.
