Benefits and process of total hip arthroplasty
The medical procedure involves converting a previous hip surgery into a total hip arthroplasty. This is done by removing the damaged or diseased parts of the hip joint and replacing them with artificial components. The procedure is typically performed to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and restore function to the hip joint. It is a common surgical intervention for individuals with severe arthritis, hip fractures, or other hip conditions that cannot be managed with non-surgical treatments. The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and requires a period of rehabilitation and physical therapy to help the patient regain strength and mobility in the affected hip.
