Summary:

Hip replacement as well as hip arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure in which the hip joint is replaced by a prosthetic implant. Such joint replacement orthopaedic surgery generally is conducted to relieve arthritis pain or fix severe physical joint damage as part of the hip fracture treatment. This book provides an overview of different types of hip replacements and success and complications that may occur. The growing number of hip replacement surgeries demonstrates the scientific advancement and success in this field.
