    Arthritis is one of the most common reasons for hip joint replacement surgery. There are different types of arthritis that can affect the hip joint, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and post-traumatic arthritis.

    Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that occurs due to wear and tear on the joint over time. It is the most common type of arthritis affecting the hip joint. Rheumatoid arthritis, on the other hand, is an autoimmune condition that causes chronic inflammation in the joints, including the hip joint. Post-traumatic arthritis can develop after a hip injury or fracture.

    Hip replacement surgery aims to reduce pain, improve mobility, and restore function in the hip joint for individuals with severe arthritis. The decision to undergo hip replacement surgery is typically made after a thorough evaluation by an orthopedic specialist who considers the patient’s symptoms, medical history, imaging studies, and overall health.
