Total hip replacement (Hip arthroplasty)

Total hip replacement, or total hip arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure in which damaged parts of the hip joint are replaced with artificial implants to eliminate pain, improve mobility, and allow the patient to resume normal activities. The procedure involves removing the damaged femoral head, inserting a femoral stem with a metal or ceramic artificial head, and preparing the acetabulum to implant an artificial socket, with fixation using bone cement or not, depending on the case. With the comprehensive support of AV Medical, it is possible to achieve nearly complete pain relief, significantly improved mobility, the ability to walk long distances again, and a more active, unrestricted life, with modern implants that can last 15 to 25 years or more.
