| Hip Replacement |
 |
 |
 |
 |
This involves surgery to replace all or part
of the hip joint with an artificial device
(prosthesis) to restore joint movement. The hip is
made of a ball and socket joint, linking the dome
at the head of the thigh bone (femur) and the cup
in the pelvic bone. A total hip prosthesis is
surgically implanted to replace the damaged bone
within the hip joint. The total hip prosthesis
consists of two parts:
a cup that replaces
the hip socket (acetabulum) a ball on a stem; the
ball replaces the fractured femoral head, and the
stem is attached to the shaft of the bone to add
stability to the prosthesis
