hip replacements

Artificial joint installations

Hip replacements are surgical procedures that replace damaged hip joints with artificial ones, or the prosthetic devices themselves.

The surgery addresses severe arthritis, fractures, or joint deterioration: She's recovering from a hip replacement.

The procedure has become routine for older adults, often restoring mobility after years of pain.
