The damaged bone is replaced with artificial prosthetics in a total hip replacement. This procedure is commonly known as total hip arthroplasty. It is usually performed in cases of arthritis in the hip. A hip replacement is recommended if stiffness and pain negatively affect your quality of life. Stiffness in the hip can limit the movement of your legs. This could be very troublesome; hence the patient would require a total hip replacement to help you live life to the fullest. The doctor may run certain physical tests and imaging like XRay and MRI scan to determine if you require a total hip replacement. Usually, doctors pick patients with severe arthritis, unbearable pain and severe injuries as candidates for total hip replacement. If you are overweight, the doctor may ask you to lose some weight to help your new prosthetic hip to withhold your body mass. After the surgery, you are expected to do the prescribed exercises to recover complete hip mobility soon.
